Day 2: Adding and Subtracting in the Denominator

3. Objective To solve rational equations
To use rational equations to solve problems

4. Ex 1) Two Fractions Equal to Each Other: Cross Multiply

5. EX 2) T.O.O

6. EX 3) T.O.O

7. EX 4) LCD: (k+1)(k-2) (k+1)(k-2) (k+1)(k-2) Restrictions: k ≠ -1,2

8. Before LCD, FACTOR!
LCD
(z – 3)(z + 3)
Restrictions
z ≠ -3, 3
(z – 3)(z + 3)
(z – 3)(z + 3)
(z – 3)(z + 3)
Quadratic: Set = 0 and factor!

9. Continued
Remember restrictions
z ≠ 3 and z ≠ -3
Answer: z = -1/4
