Rational expressions that are in the form of fractions. Yuk! The teacher demonstrates how to subtract one rational expression from the other when the expressions have a common denominator. Combine like terms and write it in simplest form.

You have two algebraic fractions to add together so what do you do now? You say yippee because they have a common denominator. This means that all you have to do is combine the like terms in the numerators. This would be a good segment...

Reinforce instruction on the least common denominator and subtracting rational expressions with this tutorial video. Learners can view this video in class or at home. Consider using this resource to supplement your lesson plan.

Teach your class how to add two algebraic fractions with different denominators. The instructor in the video describes how to find the common denominator and demonstrates how to simplify the expression. A straightforward video, this...

A straightforward definition of a quotient, this video targets a slightly more advanced audience by using rational expressions to demonstrate a quotient. Make sure your class knows that a quotient is the answer they get when they divide...

An instructor walks viewers through a complicated problem in which she divides 2 rational expressions. For this problem, she has to find excluded values, use the zero product property, multiply, divide, cancel, and simplify. This video...

Teach excluded values with this video. Using a real example, a lecturer breaks down how to find the excluded values of a rational expression. She defines what an excluded value is and completes the problem, explaining each step along the...

Multiply a rational expression and a polynomial. No problem, you can do it. Turn your polynomial into a fraction and multiply. You might need to factor your polynomials first to see if you can cancel out some terms, thereby reducing it...

You will need to pay close attention while watching this video. There are many steps and many operations to do to simplify this algebraic fraction. And if it seems hard the first time you watch it and you miss something, then watch it...

The teacher explains the many steps in simplifying a rational expression using opposite binomial factors. At first it seems complicated but if you follow along and watch out for your negative numbers you can learn how to simplify this...

The rational expression in this example is of a trinomial divided by a trinomial. Learn how to simplify this rational expression. The instructor demonstrates how to factor each trinomial and cancel the like terms to get it in simplest form.

You've got some algebraic fractions in an equation and their denominators are all different. Well, first you need to strategize. Then find the excluded values that make your denominator equal zero because we know the denominator cannot...

Factor out the greatest common factor to simplify a rational expression. When the greatest common factor is divided out of the numerator and the denominator what is left is the rational expression in simplest form. Watch as the teacher...

The teacher defines a complex fraction. She writes an example on the whiteboard. She says that any fraction that additionally has another fraction in either the numerator, or the denominator, or both, is a complex fraction.

You've got some algebraic fractions in an equation and their denominators are all different. Well, first you need to strategize. Then find the excluded values that make your denominator equal zero because we know the denominator cannot...

Before doing any kind of multiplication, first see if the terms can be reduced. Otherwise the values after multiplying can be very large and would need to be reduced anyway to simplest terms. So check out how to factor the given rational...

Multiply algebraic fractions. But first cancel or reduce the numerators and denominators, then do the multiplying. Cancel out the common factors in these monomials. It is always a good idea to reduce as much as possible before...

Divide, dividend, divisor? Will the real divisor please stand up? How do you know which part of a division problem is the divisor when you have a rational expression of algebraic fractions? Just remember it's the second number or the one...

In a rational expression the dividend is the number being divided. It's the expression that comes before the division sign.

Given a monomial and a polynomial, rewrite the expression as a rational number. This is not as confusing as you might think. First is to make the monomial a rational number by giving it a denominator. Once that is done, numbers can be...
