What is equivalent ratio's equation?

Equations are said to be equivalent if they have the same solution. This definition also holds true in rational equations or equations involving rational expressions. For instance, the equations 2x = 14 and x - 3 = 4 are equivalent. Why? It's because they have the same solution, that is x = 7.

What is the solution to 4x2y8?

4x2y8 is an expression, not an equation. Expressions cannot have solutions.


Is 5x2-6x-2 factorable?

There is no rational solution.


If p-59 what is the solution set?

There can be no solution set because there is no equation or inequality: only an expression. And expressions cannot be solved.


Do all rational equations have a single solution?

Not all rational equations have a single solution but can have more than one because of having polynomials. All rational equations do have solutions that cannot fulfill the answer.


What is a rational function?

In mathematics, a rational function is any function which can be written as the ratio of two polynomial functions. Neither the coefficients of the polynomials nor the values taken by the function are necessarily rational numbers.In the case of one variable, , a function is called a rational function if and only if it can be written in the formwhere and are polynomial functions in and is not the zero polynomial. The domain of is the set of all points for which the denominator is not zero, where one assumes that the fraction is written in its lower degree terms, that is, and have several factors of the positive degree.Every polynomial function is a rational function with . A function that cannot be written in this form (for example, ) is not a rational function (but the adjective "irrational" is not generally used for functions, but only for numbers).An expression of the form is called a rational expression. The need not be a variable. In abstract algebra the is called an indeterminate.A rational equation is an equation in which two rational expressions are set equal to each other. These expressions obey the same rules as fractions. The equations can be solved by cross-multiplying. Division by zero is undefined, so that a solution causing formal division by zero is rejected.


Will you give me an example of a radical equation with no solution?

The answer to the question depends on the set of numbers within which you are working. If you are working in integers, x2 = 2.25 has no solution. However, it does have a solution in rational numbers (x = 1.5). If working with rationals, x2 = 6 has no rational solution but it does have a solution in real numbers. Yet again, x2 = -6 has no solution in the reals, but does have a solution in complex numbers.


What is a process for evaluating expressions called?

Algebraic expressions can be simplified by combining together like terms but there are no solution because they don't contain equality signs
