General Mathematics - M02 - L01 - WEEK 2

This document provides an introduction to rational functions, equations, and inequalities. It defines each concept and provides examples. Rational expressions are ratios of two polynomials. A rational equation involves rational expressions set equal to each other. A rational inequality involves rational expressions and inequality symbols. A rational function expresses a relationship between variables as a ratio of polynomials where the denominator is not the zero function. The document gives solved examples of determining whether expressions are rational functions, equations, inequalities, or none. It then provides additional expressions for students to evaluate.

A rational equation or inequality can be solved for all x values that satisfy the equation or inequality. A
rational function expresses a relationship between two variables (such as x and y), and can be represented by a
table of values or a graph.
