Section 8.6 Objective: Solve equations that contain rational expressions.
We can use the LCD to help us solve rational equations... What is the LCD? 6 Example 1: a) Multiply both sides by the LCD Distribute the 6 3x + 2(5x) = 6(13) 3x + 10x = 78 13x = 78 x =6
Write this in factored form to find the LCD Let’s look at a more challenging equation... (x + 5)(x – 2) What is the LCD? Distribute Ex 1 b): Solve Check for extraneous roots x = –4, 1
Set cross products equal to each other... Simplify... When the equation has only a single fraction on each side, you can use cross products to solve ... Put this in standard form... Factor and solve... Ex 1 c) Solve x = –6, 5 Check for extraneous roots
