complex rational expression | A complex rational expression is a rational expression in which the numerator and/or denominator contains a rational expression. | | | | |
critical point of a rational inequality | The critical point of a rational inequality is a number which makes the rational expression zero or undefined. | | | | |
extraneous solution to a rational equation | An extraneous solution to a rational equation is an algebraic solution that would cause any of the expressions in the original equation to be undefined. | | | | |
proportion | When two rational expressions are equal, the equation relating them is called a proportion. | | | | |
rational equation | A rational equation is an equation that contains a rational expression. | | | | |
rational expression | A rational expression is an expression of the form pq, where p and q are polynomials and q≠0. | | | | |
rational function | A rational function is a function of the form R(x)=p(x)q(x) where p(x) and q(x) are polynomial functions and q(x) is not zero. | | | | |
rational inequality | A rational inequality is an inequality that contains a rational expression. | | | | |
