1 Name Class Date 10.1 Adding and Subtracting Rational Epressions Essential Question: How can you add and subtract rational epressions? A2.7.F Determine the sum, difference of rational epressions with integral eponents of degree one and of degree two. Resource Locker Eplore Identifying Ecluded Values Given a rational epression, identify the ecluded values by finding the zeroes of the denominator. If possible, simplify the epression. _ (1-2 ) - 1 The denominator of the epression is. Since division by 0 is not defined, the ecluded values for this epression are all the values that would make the denominator equal to = 0 = Begin simplifying the epression by factoring the numerator. (1-2 ) _ - 1 = ( ) ( ) - 1 Divide out terms common to both the numerator and the denominator. (1-2 ) _ - 1 = ( )( ) = = -(1 - ) The simplified epression is (1-2 ) _ - 1 =, whenever What is the domain for this function? What is its range? Reflect 1. What factors can be divided out of the numerator and denominator? Module Lesson 1
2 Eplain 1 Writing Equivalent Rational Epressions Given a rational epression, there are different ways to write an equivalent rational epression. When common terms are divided out, the result is an equivalent but simplified epression. Eample 1 Simplify the epressions. Write 3 as an equivalent rational epression that has a denominator of ( + 3) ( + 5). ( + 3) 3 The epression has a denominator of ( + 3). ( + 3) The factor missing from the denominator is ( + 5). Introduce a common factor, ( + 5). _ 3 ( + 3) = 3 ( + 5) ( + 3) ( + 5) 3 ( + 3) is equivalent to 3 ( + 5) ( + 3) ( + 5). Simplify the epression ( ) ( ) ( + 3). Write the epression. ( ) ( ) ( + 3) Factor the numerator and denominator. Divide out like terms. Your Turn 2. Write 5 as an equivalent epression with a denominator of ( - 5) ( + 1) Simplify the epression ( + 3 )(1 2 ). ( 2 6 ) Module Lesson 1
3 Eplain 2 Adding and Subtracting Rational Epressions Adding and subtracting rational epressions is similar to adding and subtracting fractions. Eample 2 Add or subtract. Identify any ecluded values and simplify your answer. _ _ Factor the denominators. _ _ ( + 1) Identify where the epression is not defined. The first epression is undefined when = 0. The second epression is undefined when = 0 and when = -1. Find a common denominator. The LCM for 2 and ( + 1) is 2 ( + 1). Write the epressions with a common denominator by multiplying both by the appropriate form of 1. Simplify each numerator. = _( + 1) ( + 1) _ _ 2 ( + 1) _ 3 2 ( + 1) 2 ( + 1) 2 Add. = ( + 1) It is clear that and 2 are not factors of the numerator, and you can show by synthetic division that + 1 is not a factor of the numerator. Since none of the factors of the denominator are factors of the numerator, the epression cannot be further simplified. _ _ Factor the denominators. _ 2 2 -_ Identify where the epression is not defined. The first epression is undefined when = 0 and when = 5. The second epression is undefined when = 0. Find a common denominator. The LCM for ( - 5) and 2 is. Write the epressions with a common denominator by multiplying both by the appropriate form of 1. 2 _ 2 ( - 5) - _ Simplify each numerator. 2 3 = _ 2 ( - 5) ( - 5) Subtract. = ( - 5) - 5 _ - 5 It is clear that and 2 are not factors of the numerator, and you can show by synthetic division that - 5 is not a factor of the numerator. Since none of the factors of the denominator are factors of the numerator, the epression cannot be further simplified. Module Lesson 1
4 Your Turn Add each pair of epressions, simplifying the result and noting the combined ecluded values. Then subtract the second epression from the first, again simplifying the result and noting the combined ecluded values and (1-2 ) 5. 2 and 1 (4-2 ) (2 - ) Module Lesson 1
5 Eplain 3 Adding and Subtracting with Rational Models Rational epressions can model real-world phenomena, and can be used to calculate measurements of those phenomena. Eample 3 Find the sum or difference of the models to solve the problem. Two groups have agreed that each will contribute $2000 for an upcoming trip. Group A has 6 more people than group B. Let represent the number of people in group A. Write and simplify an epression in terms of that represents the difference between the number of dollars each person in group A must contribute and the number each person in group B must contribute. _ 2000 _ = 2000 ( 6) _ 2000 ( 6) ( 6) , = ( 6) 12, 000 = -_ ( - 6) A freight train averages 30 miles per hour traveling to its destination with full cars and 40 miles per hour on the return trip with empty cars. Find the total time in terms of d. Use the formula t = d r. Let d represent the one-way distance. Total time: _ d 30 + d_ 40 = _ d. + _ d Image Credits: (t) Larry Lee Photography/Corbis; (b) Henrik Trygg/Corbis Your Turn = d. + d. = _ d 6. A hiker averages 1.4 miles per hour when walking downhill on a mountain trail and 0.8 miles per hour on the return trip when walking uphill. Find the total time in terms of d. Use the formula t = d r. Module Lesson 1

Find her total time in terms of d, the distance around the racecourse. Elaborate 8. Why do rational epressions have ecluded values? 9. How can you tell if your answer is written in simplest form? 10. Essential Question Check-In Why must the ecluded values of each epression in a sum or difference of rational epressions also be ecluded values for the simplified epression? Module Lesson 1

In still water, the kayaker can travel at an average speed of 2 miles per hour. Based on this information, can you estimate the average speed of the river s current? Is your answer reasonable? Net, assume the average speed of the kayaker is an unknown, k, and not necessarily 2 miles per hour. What is the range of possible average kayaker speeds under the rest of the constraints?
