Section 7.6 talks about solving rational
inequalities, which is useful in calculus if you need to know where a
function is increasing or decreasing. Chapter 8 covers radicals
and fractional exponents. Section 8.1 and 8.2 explain how to simplify
radical expressions. In 8.3, you go back and forth between
radicals and exponents, as well as simplifying exponential expressions
involving fractions.
Here are two videos on rational inequalities. The first video may be hard to understand, so here is a second video with a different speaker. Here are videos on simplifying roots, simplifying radical expressions part 1, and part 2,
When you are finished, turn the homework in here at the bottom of the page. Due dates are on the schedule.
