Turn in Puzzle (from Thur) Stamp/Turn in HW (Ch. 8 Mini Quiz W-S) Today - Notes: 8-6 Day 1 HW: Pg. 546 #9-19 odd, 47 Warm up 3/7/16 • Simplify the complex fraction Hint: Multiply by LCD
Objective • -To Solve rational equations • -To use rational equations to solve problems
Two Ways of Solving LCD: 6 Get commondenominators LCD: 6 Multiply all by LCD (6) (6) (6) Same
Ex 1) Solve 1 2 3 6 6 LCD: 6 Multiply all by LCD 6
Ex 2) T.O.O: Solve 3 2 LCD: 6 Multiply all by LCD 6 6 6
Ex 3) t.o.o: Solve 2 LCD: 8 Multiply all by LCD 8 8 8
Ex 4) Solve LCD: 2x Restrictions x ≠ 0 2x 2x 2x Make sure none of your answers are in the restrictions Quadratic Set to 0 Factor
Ex 5) Try Together (diff method)Get common denominators LCD=4x
2 Ex 6) Solve 3 6x 6x 6x LCD: 6x Restriction: x ≠ 0 Doesn’t factor, use quadratic formula No Solution Get complex/imaginary number
Ex 7) Try together (diff method)Get common denominators LCD=6x
Ex 8) T.O.O: Solve x = 3, -3
