Lesson 3Addition and Subtraction

UNIT TEST # 1 - Jan 24

OBJECTIVES

Add and subtract rational expressions with the same denominators

Find the LCD of rational expressions

Add and subtract rational expressions with different denominators

Let’s have a drill!Find the sum or difference of the following:

ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION

Solve as indicated.

Solve as indicated.

When denominators differ only by sign, we can make them equal by changing the sign of the numerator.

The denominator is changed to -1(b – 2) by factoring out -1.

The numerator –a is changed to a and the denominators are now the same.

Try this!!!Add or subtract.

HOMEWORK (1/2 crosswise)

LCM – is the smallest expression that is divisible by each of the given expressions

LCD – LCM of the denominators To Find the LCM:1. Factor each denominator into prime factors.

2. List each different factor the greatest number of times it appears in any denominator.
