1 Multiplying AND DIVIDING RATIONAL EXPRESSIONS

2 Review: Multiplying fractions

3 Multiplying Rational Functions You multiply rational functions like you do every other fraction: STRAIGHT ACROSS Steps:  Factor where needed  Multiply straight across  Simplify (Don’t forget to write down your holes before you cancel out common factors)

4 Multiplying Rational Expressions

6 Dividing Rational Expressions Remember: Dividing by a fraction is the same thing as multiplying by the reciprocal. Flip the second fraction, multiply, then simplify. Keep  Change  Flip
