Rational equations


rational equation

1.)Solve the same rational equation using a calculator. Graph the left side of the equation as y1 and the right sides as y2. Enter your solution(s).


2.) Explain how you used the graph to find the solutions using complete sentences.

x = 2 and x = -1.5 The rational expressions intersect in two places. The first point of intersection is at x = -1.5 and the second point of intersection is x = 2. You can use the intersect function or look at the table to determine when y1 = y2.

The y1 and y2 intersect in two places, meaning that there are two solutions to the rational equation. The graphs intersect at x = -1.5 and x = 2. This can also be determine by looking at the table and determining when y1 = y2.
