    Objectives
    At the end of the session, students are expected to:
    define a rational algebraic expression;

    determine whether or not an algebraic expression


    is rational; and
    determine value(s) which is/ are not permissible in a given rational algebraic
    expression.
    Rational
    Algebraic Expressions
    • It is an expression which can be represented as a quotient of two
    polynomials.

    • It can be written in the form where and are polynomials and


    Polynomials
    • A polynomial is a type of algebraic expression that consists of variables
    and coefficients in which the exponents of all variables should be a
    whole number.
    • The exponents of the variables in any polynomial have to be a non-
    negative integer.
    • A polynomial comprises constants and variables, but we cannot perform
    division operations by a variable in polynomials.
    Examples of Polynomials

    5 𝑥 +2 𝑥 − 7
    3 𝑥 +2

    2𝑥 +3 𝑥 − 1 Here, the exponent of variable x is -2

    2 This is not an example of a polynomial since 


    division operation in a polynomial cannot be
    𝑥 performed by a variable.

    The exponent cannot be a fraction (here,


    √ 𝑥 1/2) for a polynomial.

    Determine value(s) which is/ are not permissible in the following rational
    algebraic expressions.
    2
    2𝑎 To determine the value which will make the rational
    1. ¿ expression undefined, equate the denominator to zero and
    𝑎− 3 solve for the variable.

    𝑎 − 3=0 Equate the denominator to 0.


    𝑎 − 3+3=0+ 3 Add 3 on both sides.
    𝑎=3
    The expression is undefined if a is replaced by 3 because the denominator would
    be 0.
    Determine value(s) which is/ are not permissible in the following rational
    algebraic expressions.
    2 To determine the value which will make the rational
    2.¿ expression undefined, equate the denominator to zero and
    (𝑥+5)(𝑥−2)
    solve for the variable.

    𝑥 +5 =0 𝑥 − 2=0
    𝑥+5+ ( − 5 )= 0+(− 5) 𝑥 − 2+2=0+ 2
    𝑥=− 5 𝑥=2
    The expression is undefined if x=-5 and x=2 because the denominator these values
    will make the denominator be equal to 0.
    Determine value(s) which is/ are not permissible in the following rational
    algebraic expressions.
