Question

the fundamental property of rational expressions
2/5y

Answer 1

Thanks for this post. I had not heard the Fundamental Property of Rational Expressions by this name.
----------------
It says:
Fundamental property of rational expressions- If K represents a factor then (PK)/(QK) = P/Q where K not equal to zero. This property used in simplifying the rational expression to the lowest terms.

Example: (3x - 6)/( 4x-8) = {3(x - 2)}/{4(x - 2)} = 3/4

Question: Is your problem (2/5)* y or is it 2/(5y)? Thanks.
