Rational Functions and Expressions
Description
Your average deep-sea diver probably doesn't think much about algebra, but algebraic principles will greatly affect the air in his or her oxygen tank. After briefly reviewing the concept of inverse variation, this video explores Boyle's law, a real world example of an inversely proportional relationship-specifically, between the pressure and volume of a gas. Written and hosted by internationally acclaimed math educator Dr. Monica Neagoy, the program goes on to examine similarities and differences among rational functions and numbers. Finally, it takes a look at rational function graphs and ends with a delightful example merging Euclidean and analytic geometry, thanks to TI-Nspire calculator technology. Concepts featured in the video include functions, rational expressions, rational functions, and asymptotes.
