IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing or presenting the Review the table in distinguishing as rational equations, rational
new lesson inequalities , and rational functions presented the other day.
B. Establishing a purpose for the x+1
Give some rational equations such as =10 and ask students some
lesson 2x
strategies they could try for solving it.
x+1
Next turn the equation to an inequality, like >10. Challenge the
2x
class to provide as many solutions and non-solutions as they can.
Inform the class that this lesson provides systematic techniques to solve
rational equations and inequalities .
C. Presenting examples of the new Give the procedures in solving rational equations:

To solve rational equations :
a) Eliminate denominators by multiplying each term of the equation by
the least common denominator.

b)Note the eliminating denominators may introduce extraneous
solutions. Check the solutions of the transformed equations with the
original equation.
Discuss examples and show solutions on the board.

Example 1. Solve for x : − =
x 2x 5
Solution:
The LCD of all denominators is 10x. Multiply both sides of the
equation by 10x and solve the resulting equation.
Example 2. Solve for x:
Solution:
Factor each denominator in the fraction. The LCD is (x-2)(x+2).
Upon reaching this step, we can use the strategies in solving for
polynomial equations.
Expound the explanation by saying:
Check for extraneous solutions by substituting the answers back into
the original equation. Since x = 2will make the original equation
undefined, it is an extraneous solution. Since x = 5 satisfies the original
equation, it is the only solution

the
To solve rational inequalities:
(a) Rewrite the inequality as a single rational expression on one side of
inequality symbol and 0 on the other side.
(b) Determine over what intervals the rational expression takes on
positive and negative values.

i. Locate the x values for which the rational expression is zero or

undefined (factoring the numerator and denominator is a useful
strategy).
ii. Mark the numbers found in (i) on a number line. Use a shaded circle
to indicate that the value is included in the solution set, and a
hollow
circle to indicate that the value is excluded. These numbers
partition
the number line into intervals.
iii. Select a test point within the interior of each interval in (ii). The sign
of
the rational expression at this test point is also the sign of the rational
expression at each interior point in the aforementioned interval.
iv. Summarize the intervals containing the solutions.

Example.
2x
Solve the inequality ≥1. Express the inequality as a single rational
x+1
expression.

Ask students to cite their own examples of real-life problems.
(varied answers are expected)
Apply the concepts we learned in solving rational equations in solving
word problems.
Example.
In an inter-barangay basketball league, the team from Barangay
Culiat has won 12 out of 25 games, a winning percentage of 48%. How
many
games should they win in a row to improve their win percentage to
60%.
Solution:
Let x represent the number of games that they need to win to raise
their percentage to 60%. The team has already won 12 out of their 25
games. If
they win x games in a row to increase their percentage to 60%, then
they would
have played 12+x games out of their 25+x games. The equation is
12+ x
=0.6 .
25+ x
The equation is a rational equation.
To solve rational equations :
a) Eliminate denominators by multiplying each term of the equation by
the least common denominator.
b)Note the eliminating denominators may introduce extraneous
solutions. Check the solutions of the transformed equations with the
original equation.
Determine whether the given is a rational function, rational equation, a
rational inequality, or none of these.
