MA19.PRE.21

Solve simple rational equations in one variable, and give examples showing how extraneous solutions may arise.

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:
  • Algebraic rules for manipulating rational equations.
  • Conditions under which a solution is considered extraneous.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Accurately rearrange rational equations to produce a set of values to test against the conditions of the original situation and equation, and determine whether or not the value is a solution.
  • Explain with mathematical reasoning from the context (when appropriate) why a particular solution is or is not extraneous.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • Values which arise from solving equations may not satisfy the original equation.
  • Values which arise from solving the equations may not exist due to considerations in the context.

Vocabulary

  • Rational equations
  • Extraneous solutions
