Solving Rational Equations And Inequalities Worksheet. Remember to check for extraneous solutions. An equation uses variables like x and y while an inequality uses symbols such as (less than) < and (higher than) >.
Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. But because rational expressions have denominators (and therefore may have places where they're not defined), you have to be a little more careful in finding your solutions. Remember to check for extraneous solutions.
Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning.
Solving equations and inequalities Worksheet/Answer key.
But because rational expressions have denominators (and therefore may have places where they're not defined), you have to be a little more careful in finding your solutions. Though both equations and inequality are solved through different solutions, an equation gives only one answer while they can provide several answers. Here is a set of practice problems to accompany the Rational Inequalities section of the Solving Equations and Inequalities chapter of the notes for Paul Dawkins Algebra course at Lamar University.
