Today in class, we went over the homwork from page 380, and then learned how to solve rational inequalities by algebra.

Solving Inequlities:

• Factor the inequality
• Find where the numerators x values equal zero, and the denominator's vertical asymptotes
• Create a number line using the values found above, going slightly beyond each of them
• Then test different numbers to see if they fit the inequality, and mark possible numbers
• Deterimine the solution based on these tests.

POW Rubric
E= M plus: one successful proof and adresses bullet 4 from part 2
M= Answers to numbers 1-3 with explanation, investigation with results for 2 0f 3 bullets in part 2, and attempts at proofs

The material on the test will be:
Graphing rational functions (asymptotes)
Algebra of rational functions
Inequalities (solving graphically and algebraically)
