Chapter 2: Polynomials, Power, and Rational Functions 2.7: Solving Equations in One Variable
For what values is the rational expression defined? • Simplify the rational expression: • Multiply: • Add: Warm Up
Example 1: • Example 2: Cancel the Denominator
Example 3: Multiply both sides by both denominators. Create a Common Denominator
Values you get when you solve for x that are NOT IN THE DOMAIN of the function. • In Example 3, what is the domain of f? • Which of the values for x are extraneous solutions? Extraneous Solutions
2. Practice Problems: Solve each equation, and identify any extraneous solutions.
3. 4. Practice Problems: Solve each equation, and identify any extraneous solutions.
