To Simplify A Rational Expression
1. Make sure both the numerator and denominator are factored completely!!!
2. Look for common factors and cancel– Remember factors are things that are being
multiplied you can NEVER cancel things that are being added or subtracted!!!
3. Find out what conditions make the expression undefined and state them.

Examples: Simplify and state the values for x that result
in the expression being undefined

Operations with Rational Expressions
To Multiply Rational Expressions:
Factor and cancel where possible. Then multiply numerators and denominators
To Divide Rational Expressions:
Rewrite the problem as a multiplication problem with the first expression times the reciprocal of the second expression. Then factor and cancel where possible. Multiply numerators and denominators
Define x-values for which the expression is undefined

Polynomials in Numerator and Denominator
Rules are the same as before…1. Make sure everything is factored completely
2. Cancel common factors
3. Simplify and define x values for which the expression is undefined.

To simplify complex fractions
Same rules as before– Rewrite as multiplication with the reciprocal– Factor and cancel what you can– Simplify everything– Multiply to finish

Lesson 8-2: Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions
![Page 15: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions
Finding Least Common Multiples and Least Common Denominators!– Use prime factorization
– Example: Find the LCM of 6 and 4 6 = 2·3 4 = 22
LCM= 22·3 = 12
![Page 16: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Find the LCM
1. 18r2s5, 24r3st2, and 15s3t
2. 15a2bc3, 16b5c2, 20a3c6
3. a2 – 6a + 9 and a2 + a -12
4. 2k3 – 5k2 – 12k and k3 – 8k2 +16k

Add and Subtract Rational Expressions
Same as fractions…– To add two fractions we find the LCD, the same
things is going to happen with rational expressions

Lesson 8-3: Graphing Rational Functions
![Page 23: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Definitions
Continuity: graph may not be able to be traced without picking up pencil
Asymptote: a like that the graph of the function approaches, but never touches (this line is graphed as a dotted line)
Point discontinuity: a hole in the graph
![Page 24: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Vertical Asymptote
How to find a Vertical Asymptote:
x = the value that makes the rational expression undefined
*Set the denominator of the rational expression equal to zero and solve.
![Page 25: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Point Discontinuity
How to find point discontinuity:
* Factor completely
* Set any factor that cancels equal to zero and solve. Those are the
x values that are points of discontinuity

Lesson 8-4: Direct, Joint, and Inverse Variation
![Page 33: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Direct Variation
y varies directly as x if there is a nonzero constant, k, such that y = kx*k is called the constant of variation
1. Plug in the two values you have and solve for the missing variable
2. Plug in that variable and the other given value to solve for the requested answer
![Page 34: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Example
If y varies directly as x and y = 12 when
x = -3, find y when x = 16.
![Page 35: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Joint Variation
y varies jointly as x and z if there is a nonzero constant, k, such that y = kxz
* Follow the same directions as before
![Page 36: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Example
Suppose y varies jointly as x and z. Find y when x = 8 and z = 3, if y = 16 when z = 2 and x = 5.
![Page 37: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Inverse Variation
y varies inversely as x if there is a nonzero constant, k, such that xy = k or y=
kx
![Page 38: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Example
If y varies inversely as x and y = 18 when x = -3, find y when x = -11

Let’s review some old skills
How do you find the LCM of two monomials– 8x2y3 and 18x5
* Why do we find LCM’s with rational expressions?
![Page 41: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Old Skills Cont…
What is it called when two fractions are equal to each other?
What process do we use to solve a problem like this?
![Page 42: Lesson 8-1: Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813589550346895d9ced59/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
To solve a rational equation:
1. Make sure the problem is written as a proportion
2. Cross Multiply
3. Solve for x
4. Check our answer

Solving Rational Inequalities
Step 1: State any excluded values (where the denominator of any fraction could equal zero)
Step 2: Solve the related equation
Step 3: Divide a numberline into intervals using answers from steps 1 and 2 to create intervals
Step 4: Test a value in each interval to determine which values satisfy the inequality
