Lesson 3. Rational Algebraic Expressions

This document provides instruction on rational algebraic expressions. It begins by defining a rational algebraic expression as any expression that can be written in the form P(x)/Q(x), where P(x) and Q(x) are polynomials and Q(x) ≠ 0. Examples of rational expressions are provided. The document then discusses classifying expressions as rational or not rational. An activity is provided for writing rational expressions given word problems. Finally, the document discusses permissible values of x in given expressions.
