Question 222778: Under what situation would one or more solutions of a rational equation be unacceptable?
Can you please give me an example of an rational equation?
Answer by rapaljer(4671)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! When the value of the "solution" makes a denominator equal zero!
I have a whole section of rational equations in Intermediate Algebra. To see these, please see my own website. Do a "Bing" search for my last name "Rapalje". Look for "Rapalje Homepage" near the top of the search list. On my Homepage near the top, look for the link "MATH IN LIVING COLOR." Choose "Intermediate Algebra", and look for Section 2.07 Fractional Equations. See #23 of this section to see an equation in which the solution obtained is NOT allowed.
