Aim: How do we multiply rational expressions II ?
















NOTICE: Midterm Test January 21

Topics to be included but not limited to:
  • Multiplying Polynomials
  • Factoring quadratic expressions when a=1
  • Factoring quadratic equations when a is not equal to 1
  • Solving 1 and 2 degree equations
  • Multiplying algebraic fractions
  • Dividing algebraic fractions
  • Solving quadratic equations using the ZERO product rule

Homework:

Complete handout even # problems. + Test Review Sheet all problems
Remember that a rational expression is a fraction. The objective in this lesson is to multiply two algebraic fractions and reducing the answer TO the most simplifed form.
These expressions can be monimials or polynomials in factored or unfactored form.

THE 4 STEP PROCEDURE FOR MULTIPLYING IS AS FOLLOWS:
1. Factor the numerator of each fraction if possible.
2. Factor the denominator of each fraction if, possible.
3. Reduce like terms in the numerator and denominator by dividing the factors OR cross cancelation.where possible.
4. Multiply the remaining terms in the numerator and in the denominator.

If the operation between the two fractions is division,
1.Keep the first fraction as is.
2. Change the operation to multiplication
3. Invert (flip) the fraction and follow the 4 steps for multiplication
