1 Variation Function Direct Variation: o o o y varies directly as x when Joint Variations y varies jointly as x & z , where ; therefore, when graphing use this

Inverse Variation o

y varies inversely as x

Ex. Given: y varies directly as , and o

Write and graph the direct variation function

Ex. The cast of an item in euros, e, varies directly as the cast of the item in dollars, d, and euroes when . Find d when .

Ex. The volume, V, of a cone varies jointly as the area of the base, B, and the height, h. when and . Find B when and .

8.2 Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions Rational expression a quotient of two polynomials simplifying rational expressions.

1. Factor all numerators and denominators completely. 2. 3. 4.

Ex. Simplify. Identify any x-values for which the expression is undefined.

8.3 Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions Least common multiple (LCM) of polynomials. To find the LCM of polynomials: 1. Factor each polynomial completely. Write any repeated factors as powers. For example,

2. List the different factors. All of the polynomials have common factors, use the largest power of each common factor. Ex.

,
Ex.

Find the least common multiple of each pair.

8.4 Rational Functions

Rational function- ratio of two polynomials where x=h is a vertical asymptote and y=k is a horizontal asymptote. Asymptote- a line that a graph approaches, but does not reach

Example:

x Y

1 1

2 1/2

3 1/3

1/2 2

-1 -1

-2 1/2

-3 1/3

1/2 -2

Practice: Graph

When

, there are zeros, holes. When the degree of the numerator and the denominator are the same, the horizontal asymptote is the ratio of the leading coefficients from p(x) and q(x). Ex) Horizontal Asymptote:

When the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is y=0. Ex) When the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator, there is NO horizontal asymptote. The asymptote is a line (oblique asymptote.) Ex)

Practice: Identify the asymptote(s), hole(s), then graph each equation below.

Use cross multiplication to solve a rational equation when each side of the equation is single rational expression.

Ex.

Multiply each term by the LCD if there are more than 2 rational expressions each side.

Chapter 8 Algebra 2 8.8 Solving Radical Equations and Inequalities Step: 1. Isolate the radical by removing the variable/constant by using opposite operation/ 2. Raise the same power both side to eliminate the radical. 3. Use opposite operation to solve the equation by isolating the variables. Ex.
