Finding Roots of a Rational Equation
In this lesson, we learn how to find the values of x when a rational equation equals 0. By substituting in 0 for f(x), we can solve for x using basic algebra. It's important to remember not to confuse finding the value of the function when x equals 0 with finding the value of x when f(x) equals 0.

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
- What is the difference between f(0) and f(x)=0 ?
- What must you do when you have a fractional algebraic expression or equation ?
- What does (3x-4)/5 = 0 condense to after you have got rid of the denominator ?
