Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions

Today's objectives

add and subtract rational expressions with like denominators
factor polynomials
add and subtract rational expressions with unlike denominators
find the least common denominator
simplify rational expressions

Adding and Subtracting with Like Denominators

Ex: $\frac{7}{4x}+\frac{3}{4x}=\frac{10}{4x}$

$=\frac{5}{2x}$

Multiple Choice

Find the sum:

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{9}{x}=

$\frac{10}{x}$

$\frac{10}{2x}$

$\frac{5}{x}$

$\frac{10}{x^2}$

Multiple Choice

Find the difference:

\frac{2x}{x^3-2}-\frac{1}{x^3-2}

$\frac{2x-1}{x^3-2}$

$\frac{2x+1}{x^3-2}$

$\frac{2x-1}{2x^3-4}$

$\frac{2x+1}{2x^3-4}$

Adding and Subtracting with unlike denominators

So far, we achieved our first objective, which is to add and subtract rational expressions with like denominators
Next, we will learn about adding and subtracting rational expressions with unlike denominators
