Aim: How do we simplify rational expressions?
















Homework:
Complete handout even # problems.
Lesson Review: Remember that a rational expression is a fraction. The objective in this lesson is to simplify by reducing, fractions that have factorable expressions in the numerator and denominator. These expressions can be monimials or polynomials.

THE 3 STEP PROCEDURE FOR SIMPLIFYING IS AS FOLLOWS:

1. Factor the numerator if possible.

2. Factor the denominator, if possible

3. Reduce like terms in the numerator and denominator by dividing the factors where possible.
