Chapter 4 — Rational Functions
In Chapter 4, students apply their factoring skills to rational expressions, which are essentially fractions with variables in the numerator and denominator. The lessons cover how to simplify these expressions and perform operations like multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. A significant portion of the chapter is dedicated to solving rational equations and applying them to "work-rate" and "speed" word problems. Students also learn the importance of identifying non-permissible values to avoid dividing by zero.
