(F G) (X) F (X) G (X) : Remember!!!

To solve rational equations: 1) Multiply each term by the least common denominator (LCD) to eliminate fractions. 2) Solve the resulting equation. 3) Check that any solutions satisfy the original equation. When solving rational inequalities: 1) Eliminate denominators by clearing fractions. 2) The inequality symbol may change if divided by a negative number and stays the same if divided by a positive number. A rational function is a function defined as the quotient of two polynomial functions, where the denominator is not equal to 0 on its domain.

After solving the value/s of the unknown, do the checking to

If f and g are functions with domains Df and Dg, Rational inequalities are easier to solve if their

(f · g)(x) = f(x) · g(x) Remember!!!

Quotient of Functions The inequality symbol will change if the inequality is divided
by a negative integer.
If f and g are functions with domains Df and Dg,
respectively, excluding the values of Dg that will make g(x) The inequality symbol will retain if the inequality is divided
zero, then, their quotient is the function defined as; by a positive integer.
