Yes. Rational functions must contain rational expressions in order to be rational.
Basically, a rational expression would include only additions, subtractions, multiplications, divisions, and integer powers, while an irrational expression could, in addition, include several additional functions, such as roots (or equivalently, non-integer powers), exponential functions, logarithms, trigonometric functions, and just about any other function.
a rational function.
Logarithmic functions are converted to become exponential functions because both are inverses of one another.
A rational expression is an expression that includes only additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions. Some of the things that will make an expression irrational (not rational) are square roots, higher-level roots, non-integer powers, exponentials (powers in which the variable expression occurs in the exponent), and common functions such as logarithms or trigonometric functions.
