§11A.1 and §11B.1 fractional equations

The content for A and B is very similar this time. Make your own choice.

As your teacher, I am very glad with it. Saves me a lot of time...

Key in, in the next slide, what 'a Fractional equation' is, in your opinion.

What is a fractional equation?

Your answer was good, as long as it included the words:

+ fraction and

+ equation

However, as you see above, a very special shape of fractional equation is meant, in fact!

Step by step ...

in the next slides we're going to see how a fractional equation is solved!

+  Task for all:

Try to find the answer, in your head!

+  Task for one of you: What is the outcome for p?!

'So, ............... , please open your mike and give us your answer!'

Solution:

Such exercises, like 2, 3 and 4, you are going to try yourself.

However, there is a little more to it!

First a joke.

No, the previous slide wasn't about me!

Now a more difficult type of fractional equation comes up!

Question for all:

What is the New Thing in this fractional equation?

After 30 seconds thinking:

Question for one of you:

' ........., please open your mike and give us your answer!'

Answer:

The New Thing is that there are 2 variables called x, in stead of only 1!

In the next slides we're going to solve this one.

Now finally step 3: solve it!

If this went a bit too quick, remember ...

+ It's all in the book too, for you to Study now!

+ By doing the exercises and checking them while (or after) working on it,

    you will learn a lot!

Homework time.

Good luck doing §11A.1  or  §11B.1
