    Q1 - 2.1 - Domain of RAE

    Uploaded by

    Erika Lloren Luyun-Galia
    Rational algebraic expressions can be written as the quotient of two polynomials where the denominator is not equal to zero. The domain of a rational algebraic expression is the set of real numbers that can be used to replace the variable without making the expression undefined. To find the domain, equate the denominator to zero and exclude the solutions from the set of real numbers. This module teaches students to describe rational algebraic expressions, determine their domains, and develop analytical thinking skills.

    B. x = 0; x = -2 D. x = 1; x = -2
    Recall
     

    1.) Is a rational number?


     Yes, because it can be expressed as a fraction that is equal to

    2.) What are the factors of ?


      and

    3.) If what is the value of ?


      The value of is because .

    4.) Is a polynomial?
    Yes, because the variable has a positive integral
    exponent
    Things to Process
       What is a rational number?
    - It is a number which can be expressed as a quotient of two integers.
    What is a rational algebraic expression?
     It is an expression which can be expressed as quotient of two polynomials, where
    the denominator is not zero.
    Examples: *Remember that dividing by zero is
    not allowed, or else the expression
    , and . becomes undefined (meaningless).
    The set of numbers which can be used as replacements for the variable in a rational
    expression is known as its domain.
    Things to Process

     Example 1:Which of the following is NOT a rational algebraic


    expression?
    A. YES C. YES
    B. D.
    YES No, since there is

    variable inside
    the radical sign

     Example 2: What is the domain of ?


    Solution:
      Equate the denominator to zero
      Addition property of equality
      Simplify

    Therefore, the domain is the set of real numbers except 11.

      3: What possible values of x will make a rational
    algebraic expression?
     Solution:

    Equate the denominator to zero


      Factor
      Zero product rule
      Addition property of equality

     Therefore, the possible values are all real numbers except -3 and -2.
    In symbols, .

    undefined?
     Solution:

    Equate the denominator to zero


      Addition Property of Equality
      Simplify
      Multiplication Property of Equality
      Simplify

     If , the denominator becomes meaningless or undefined.

    Example
      5: Determine the values x for which is undefined.
     Solution:

    Equate the denominator to zero


      Factor
      Zero product property
      Answer

      This means that is undefined whenis or .


    Things to Ponder

    A rational algebraic expression is an expression which can be written as


    quotient of two polynomials, where the denominator is not equal to zero.
    Domain is the set of real numbers which can be used to replace a variable in a
    rational algebraic expression.

    To get the domain of a rational algebraic expression:


    - equate the denominator to zero;
    - find the solution set of the resulting equation; and
    - the elements of the solution set should be excluded from the set
    of real numbers.
