Simplify Rational Expressions. Tutorial! Check it Out!

Answer 1

Recall that a rational number is a number that can be written as 1 integer divided by another integer such as
\[3÷4~ or ~34\]
A rational expression is an algebraic expression divided by another algebraic expression. Such as
\[(3x+2)÷(x+4) ~~or ~~ 3x+2x+4\]

Answer 2

The last fraction is sometimes called a fractional algebraic expression. There is a special restriction for all fractions, including fractional algebraic expressions. The denominator of the fraction cannot be 0. For example, in the expression
\[3x+2x+4\]
The denominator cannot be 0. Therefore, the value of x cannot be -4.

Answer 3

We discovered that fractions can be simplified in the following way.
\[\frac{ 15 }{ 25 }=\frac{ 3\times5 }{ 5\times3 }= \frac{ 3 }{ 5 }\]
This is sometimes referred to as the basic rule of fractions. And can be stated as follows:

Answer 4

BASIC RULE OF FRACTIONS: For any polynomials a, b, c
\[(b \neq0~~and~~ c \neq0)\]
\[\frac{ ac }{ bc }=\frac{ a }{ b }\]
