How To Solve A Rational Number

How To Solve A Rational Number Solving Rational Numbers is very easy task, but sometimes you get confused that how to solve equations with rational numbers. Rational numbers are always in form of p/q, and dealing with them is very simple. Many students ask how to solve equations with rational number; here I will explain you the way of solving rational problems. When you have to add two numbers we can simply add them, but when we have to add rational number, we have to follow a set of rules given as:

1.Find lcm(least common multiple) of denominators in given equation. 2. Find equivalent fraction form. 3. Add the numerator and we get the answer. The add fractions part is one way of saying "put everything over a common denominator, in this case "x-5". to bring the -3 into the fraction over x-5 you have to multiply -3 times x-5, that is where the "-3x+15" comes from. the example is trickier with the fraction to the right, KnowMoreAboutHowToDo3DigitMultiplication Tutorcircle.com

but what follows is how i would solve it: 5/(x-6) - 3/(x+2) > 0 (bring everything over onto one side) (5(x+2) - 3(x-6)) / ((x+2)(x-6)) > 0 (find common denom.) (5x+10 3x+18)/((x+2)(x-6)) >0 (multiply through) (2x+28) / ((x+2)(x-6)) > 0 (simplify) so X=-14 makes the numerator 0 (a zero) X= -2, or X=6 makes the denominator 0 (an undefined expression) One way to check your answer is to plug the solutions back into the original equation. hope this helps. Rational Numbers are Dense The rational numbers are dense in R. In the set of natural numbers, there is a finite numbers between any two numbers, whereas in the set of rational numbers there are infinitely many numbers between any two, non -equal, numbers. Let us prove it. Consider any two real numbers such as m,n R where m < n, then, there exists a rational number b such that m < b < n. Solving Equations With Rational Numbers An equation in x is a statement that two algebraic expressions are equal. To solve an equation in x means to find all values of x for which the equation is true. The solution of an equation depend on the kinds of numbers being considered. for example X2 = 11 has no solution because there is no rational number whose square is 11.

To solve an equation involving fractional expressions, find the least common denominator of all terms and multiply every term by the LCD and produce a simpler equation. What is a Rational Number While studying the rational numbers first question in are mind, that is, what are rational numbers. Every repeating decimal can be written as a rational number, pq, where p, q are integers and q 0. If the rational number is represented as fraction, it is not unique. Suppose the rational numbers are used in mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
