What's a Rational Expression?
Note:
Got a fraction with a polynomial in the numerator and denominator? You have a rational expression! Learn about rational expressions in this tutorial.
Background Tutorials
-
Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).
-
What is a Variable?
You can't do algebra without working with variables, but variables can be confusing. If you've ever wondered what variables are, then this tutorial is for you!
-
Further Exploration
-
Understand that rational expressions form a system analogous to the rational numbers, closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by a nonzero rational expression; add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational expressions.
-
How Do You Divide Two Rational Expressions?
Dividing two rational expressions? Turn it into a multiplication problem by multiplying by the reciprocal of the second rational expression (the divisor)! This tutorial shows you how to do just that! Then, you'll see how to perform the multiplication and simplify to get you answer!
