3. Rational Expressions and Factoring A rational expression is nothing more than a fraction in which the numerator and/or the denominator are polynomials.

4. Basic Expressions In basic rational expression are manipulating denominators to make two expression into one.

5. Rational Expressions How we will use this is with our polynomials. How we will use this is with our polynomials. The easiest way to add Rational Expressions is to use common denominator method: Where b and d do not equal 0.

9. Factoring Factoring is taking out the Greatest Common Factor. Factoring is taking out the Greatest Common Factor. The greatest common factor is the highest number that divides exactly into two or more numbers. It is the "greatest" thing for simplifying fractions!

10. Grouping When factoring polynomials grouping is placing terms next to each other so we can factor out a greatest common factors.
