Question

Compare and contrast division of integers to division of rational expressions.

Answer 1

When we divide by an integer, we are dividing by a number that although can be expressed as a ratio over 1, will still be numbers like (1, 2, 3, 4, 5... etc.)

A rational expression is one that has ratios, or like (1/2, 2/3, 4/5... etc.)

So when we divide by an integer, we just divide.
When we divide by a rational expression, we must multiply by the reciprocal of the rational function.
