Determie if two ratioal epressios are equivalet. p. 0 Def A ratioal epressio is a epressio of the form p, where p ad q are polyomials ad 0 q q. It is a fractio that has a polyomial i the umerator ad a polyomial i the deomiator ad the deomiator caot be 0. E.g.: t q 7t ;, r 0;, ;, t ;, q,;, y 0, r t q q 8y No e.g.:,, 0 w If you look back at the eamples of ratioal epressios, you should otice that ratioal epressios with oe or more variables i the deomiator had restrictios o the variable(s). The restrictios o the deomiator occur because divisio by zero is udefied, so we are ot permitted to substitute certai values for the variable(s) i the deomiator because they result i divisio by zero. These value(s) which caot be substituted for the variable(s) are called o-permissible values. These opermissible values lead to the restrictios o the ratioal epressio. Def : No-permissible values are those values of the variable that makes the deomiator of the ratioal epressios equal to zero. E.g.: For, the o-permissible values are, so the restrictios are. E.g.: For are 5 5 7 0 5 7 5,. 7 See Need to Kow, bullets -, p., the o-permissible values are 5 ad, so the restrictios 7

Equivalet Ratioal Epressios Fidig equivalet ratioal epressios is the same as fidig equivalet umerical fractios. You must multiply (or divide) the umerator ad deomiator by the same umber or epressio. The origial ad resultig ratioal epressios are equivalet because multiplyig both the umerator ad the deomiator by the same umber or epressio meas you are multiplyig by oe. However, with ratioal epressios ivolvig variables, you have to pay close attetio to the restrictio(s) o the variable(s). E.g.: ad 6 are equivalet ratioal epressios. 8 E.g.: 5 ad 5 5 are equivalet ratioal epressios. 0 0 5 E.g.: ad are equivalet ratioal epressios for 0. E.g.: E.g.: t, 7.
