2 Math 02, Intermediate Algebra Section Domain (Allowed X-Values) and Simplifying Rational Epressions Recall that a rational number is a ratio of two integers, the second of which is non-zero. Formally, the set of rational numbers is { a b a and b are integers and b 0}. Informally, rational numbers are fractions. In algebra, a rational epression is a ratio of two polynomials, the second of which must be non-zero. Domain (Allowed X-Values) Eample (a) Find the set of real numbers for which each of the following is defined (the domain of the epression). (i) Since 0 is undefined, then cannot be 0.

10 Math 02, Intermediate Algebra Section 2.3 Least Common Multiples A multiple of a number is the product of that number and a natural number. Consider the multiples of 5 and 4 as shown below: Common multiples of 4 and 5 are 20, 40, 60, 80,... The Least Common Multiple of 4 and 5 is 20. The smallest number in any list of common multiples is the Least Common Multiple. We can denote the Least Common Multiple of 4 and 5 as LCM (4, 5) 20. Additionally, we can describe the Least Common Multiple of a set of numbers as the product of the distinct prime factors of the numbers, each raised only to the highest degree with which it occurs in any of the numbers of the set. If we write the prime factorization of the numbers, we can then build the LCM as follows. LCM (20, 36) This LCM includes all of the factors of 20 and only the factors of 36 that are not present in the factors of 20. LCM (20, 36) 360 Finding the LCM of rational epressions is similar.

12 Math 02, Intermediate Algebra Section 2.3 Addition and Subtraction of Rational Epressions with Unlike Denominators To add or subtract fractions with unlike denominators, we build up the fractions so that the denominators are the same and then use one of the previous properties. For eample, since the least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 2, we have To add or subtract rational epressions, we first find the LCM of the denominators, build up the epressions so that the denominators are the same, then combine the fractions as shown in eamples a e.

18 Math 02, Intermediate Algebra Section Solving Equations containing Rational Epressions Proportions A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equivalent and is written in the form Let s eplore the proportion Suppose we wanted to transform this equation into one without denominators. We could use the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by 5. We could use the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by 0. Notice, by the color coding here and in the original proportion, that we could have obtained this result directly by performing what is called cross-multiplying. Means and Etremes Property of Proportions For any real numbers a, b, c, and d where b 0 and d 0, a b c ad bc Etremes d Means The product of the means of a proportion is equal to the product of its etremes.

In this section, we will eamine methods of solving problems involving rates of production and rates of travel. Eample (b) Let s eplore the concept of rate: If a farmer can plow an acre in 5 hours, how many acres can the farmer plow in 0 hours? in 5 hours? in hour? The unit rate is 5 acre per hour. We can use this rate and the formula to answer the preceding questions again. Rate Time Production (Amount of work done) If a farmer can plow an acre in 5 hours, how many acres can the farmer plow in 0 hours? in 5 hours? in hour?
