rational equation

The results of these two techniques were compared with design floods estimated by the rational equation, slope–area method and an envelope of recorded extremes.

The prediction of peak flows, using the areal extent of association A in the rational equation, also supported its identification as a discharge area.

A rational equation is an equation in which two rational fractions (or rational expressions) of the form are set equal to each other.

The first three lines in bold type specify that case-sensitive word input is to be used, and that the simplest branch of the solutions to an extended rational equation be used.

Plant associations identified by the survey were evaluated as either recharge or discharge areas based on species composition, slope position, relative water yield, soil-water storage, and peak-flow estimates based on a modified form of the rational equation.

They were even more respectful - and, to judge by the nods, just as comprehending - in the algebra class of Richard Marx, one of the three American teachers, who scribbled furiously on the blackboard, unlocking the mysteries of rational equations.

From Northwest Washington to the suburbs of Fairfax and Prince George's counties, advanced algebra often appears the same from class to class: Students are expected to learn dozens of skills, including factoring trinomials, solving rational equations and graphing quadratic functions.

Ill-defined regions of the data, rational equations, unjustified polynomial fits (particularly for extrapolations), failure to examine data at low X and Y values sufficiently, reversing X and Y values, and as the manual puts it, 'trusting numbers rather than the evidence of your own eyes' are some others.
