8. Slide 2- 8 Example Solving by Clearing Fractions Solving Rational Functions by Clearing Fractions Steps: (Show all work) 1.Determine and the restrictions due to the denominators. 2.Find the LCD 3.Multiply all terms by LCD to clear the denominators. 4.Solve the resulting equation 5.Check your solutions to make sure there are no extraneous solutions. 6.Be sure to note (write out) the extraneous solutions if there are any.

9. For Step 1: If n > m, to find the end behavior asymptote, divide the denominator into the numerator. The resulting quotient is the end behavior asymptote. There is no horizontal asymptote. The asymptote is the quotient expression from your division. PreCalculus Handout Name:__________________________ Date:_______________ Per:______

11. Slide 2- 11 Example Eliminating Extraneous Solutions

12. Slide 2- 12 Extraneous Solutions When we multiply or divide an equation by an expression containing variables, the resulting equation may have solutions that are not solutions of the original equation. These are extraneous solutions. For this reason we must check each solution of the resulting equation in the original equation.

13. Slide 2- 13 Step 1: If n > m, to find the end behavior asymptote, divide the denominator into the numerator. The resulting quotient is the end behavior asymptote.
