Teacher Notes:
In Algebra II, students simplified rational expressions to lowest terms and performed arithmetic operations with them, in preparation
for solving rational equations. In the previous lesson, students verified that rational expressions are closed under addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division. In this lesson, students first review the concept of equivalent rational expressions from
Algebra II. They attend to precision in keeping track of the values of the variable that must be excluded from the domain to avoid
division by zero. This lesson then introduces rational functions as functions that can be written as quotients of two polynomial
functions. Then, students determine whether functions are rational and identify their domain (range is addressed later when they
graph rational functions). Reviewing the process of reducing rational expressions to lowest terms prepares students for later lessons
in which they graph and compose rational functions.
