    Chapter 2 Lesson 3 Math 8

    Uploaded by

    Jhon Payat
    Lesson 3 discusses operations on rational expressions. It explains how to perform multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, and operations on complex rational expressions. Multiplication involves multiplying numerators and denominators. Division is performed by multiplying the reciprocal of the divisor. Addition and subtraction require finding a common denominator. Complex rational expressions first require simplifying the fractions before performing other operations.

    Operations on

    Expressions
    Operations on Fractions
    Least Common Denominator
    It is the lowest multiple or number into which all the given
    denominators may be divided without a remainder.
    Factoring Completely
    It is a skill that should be practiced whenever factoring is
    being performed, where all factors of a polynomial should be
    considered prime.
    Multiplication of Rational Expressions
    For multiplication, we multiply numerators and denominators,
    then express the product in lowest term.
    The product of rational expressions and , where a, b c and d are
    polynomials, is given by .
    Example 1:
    (4 𝑎2 𝑏)(3 𝑐 5)
    ¿ 3 𝑐 5 −3
    (𝑐 3)( 8 𝑎3 𝑏) ¿
    2 𝑎3 −2
    (4 𝑎2 𝑏)(3 𝑐 5) 3 𝑐2
    ¿ ¿
    (𝑐 3)( 8 𝑎3 𝑏) 2𝑎

    Division of Rational Expressions

    The quotient of rational expressions and , where a, b, c and d


    are polynomials, is given by , in which the reciprocal of the divisor
    is multiplied to .
    Example 1: ÷ = *
    = *
    =
    Example 2: ÷ =
    = *
    = *

    Addition and Subtraction of Rational Expressions

    We can only add or subtract fractions when the denominators are


    the same. When the fractions are similar, we only add the
    numerators. If the denominators are different, we determine the
    least common denominator (LCD).
    For rational expressions and , where a, b, c and d are
    polynomials,
    a. the sum is given by + = ,
    b. the difference is given by - =
    where bd is the least common denominator of b and d.
    Example 1: + =
    =
    =
    =
    Example 2: - + +

    Complex Rational Expressions
    It is possible to have rational expressions whose numerators and
    denominators are composed of fractions. These expressions are called
    complex rational expressions. Complex rational expressions are
    simply rational expressions that undergo the division operation. But
    before division, the other operations will have to be performed first.
    Example: +
    - =
    = ● 24 = - 30

    Recap
    • Multiplication of rational expressions is the same as multiplying
    basic fractions.
    • Division of rational expressions is performed the same way as
    division of basic fractions are similar.
    • Similar rational expressions are fractions with the same
    denominator.
    • Dissimilar rational expressions can be made similar by
    determining the least common denominator.
    • In simplifying complex fractions, perform the simplification part
    by part.
