1 9.4 Multiplying & Dividing Rational Expressions p.554

2 Simplified form of a rational expression - Means the numerator and denominator have NO common factors. If the numerator and/or are polynomials, factor them ALL THE WAY, then cancel common factors. ** Hint for simplifying: FACTOR EVERYTHING FIRST!! (told you factoring wasn’t going away anytime soon)

3 Examples Examples: Simplify.

4 More Examples: Simplify. (Hint: Factor everything first!!)

5 Another example even yet: Simplify.

6 Hey, how about ANOTHER Example!

7 You say you want MORE examples?

8 THE LAST EXAMPLE!!!
