(1) Addition: A B + C B = A + C B, A B + C D = A D + B C B D ( x 2 − x − 6 x + 7 ) ÷ ( x − 3 2 + x + 2 − 1 ) = ( x − 3 ) ( x + 2 ) x + 7 ÷ ( ( x − 3 ) ( x + 2 ) 2 ( x + 2 ) − 1 ( x − 3 ) ) = ( x − 3 ) ( x + 2 ) x + 7 × x + 7 ( x − 3 ) ( x + 2 ) ( x = 3, − 2, − 7 ) = 1. How to Simplify Rational Expressions Factorize both the denominator and numerator of the rational expression. Cancel any common factors from the top and bottom of the rational expression.
A rational expression has been simplified or reduced to lowest terms if all common factors from the numerator and denominator have been canceled. Step 3 : Remove the common factors found in both numerator and denominator. Step 2 : Identify the common factors in both numerator and denominator. All these tasks can be solved step by step, or you could stop. This means that we’ll concentrate on the same terms in the denominator and numerator and try to adjust whole expression, using factoring knowledge we have, in order to simplify given rational expression. 4) If possible, look for other factors that are common to the numerator and. 2) 3x is a common factor the numerator & denominator. Step 1 : Factor both numerator and denominator, if possible. Simplifying rational expressions means the same as simplifying the fraction. 1) Look for factors that are common to the numerator & denominator. Given the polynomials A, B, C, A, B, C, A, B, C, and D, D, D, where B ≠ 0 B\neq0 B = 0 and D ≠ 0, D\neq0, D = 0, we can perform the following operations: In this lesson, we will look at simplifying rational expressions. The following steps will be useful to simplify rational expressions.
