9-4: Rational Expressions
A rational expression is in simplest form when its numerator and denominator are polynomials which have no common divisors.
Examples in simplest form:

9-4: Rational Expressions
To simplify a rational expression: Remove any GCFs that may exist Factor if possible Cancel common factors (parenthesis must
match) To find restrictions:
Before canceling out anything, check the denominators
Set any denominator pieces equal to 0 These give you numbers your variable cannot
be

9-4: Rational Expressions
To divide rational expressions: Remove any GCFs that may exist Factor if possible Flip division sign to multiplication, flip fraction after
division sign Cancel common factors (parenthesis must match) Multiply numerators with numerators,
denominators with denominators To find restrictions:
Before canceling out anything, check all denominators
Set any denominator pieces equal to 0 These give you numbers your variable cannot be Restrictions must be checked both before and
after the flip
