Multiplying Rational Expressions After studying this lesson, you will be able to: * Multiply rational expressions. Steps to multiply a rational expression: 1. Cancel numerator to denominator if possible (don't cancel parts of a binomial or trinomial) 2. Factor the numerators and denominators if possible. 3. Multiply straight across - remember, you don't need a common denominator to multiply fractions (or rational expressions). Example 1 Nothing will cancel. Nothing will factor. All we have to do is multiply. This is the simplified answer. Example 2 We can do some canceling and reducing in this problem. 2 and 16 reduces; 9 and 3 reduces, reduce the variables. Now, we multiply. This is the simplified expression. Example 3 We can reduce 12 and 3 and reduce the variables Now, factor the second denominator. Cancel the identical binomials (x + 5 ) This is the simplified expression. Example 4 Factor Cancel the identical binomials. This is the simplified expression. Example 5Factor Cancel the identical binomials. This is the simplified expression. THIS WAS MADE BY: www.algebra-online.com/multiplying-rational-expressions-1.htm Hope this helped !

How would you differentiate rational algebraic expressions from those which are not?
The coefficients in a rational expression would be rational numbers.
When can you say that a rational algebraic expression is in standard form?
if it convert
What is the antonym of algebraic expression?
There is no official antonym for algebraic expression. The only thing that is the opposite of an algebraic expression is something that is not an algebraic expression.
When can you simplify a fraction or a rational algebraic expression?
When the denominator is a factor of the numerator. If there is 2x in the numerator and denominator these terms cancel.
Examples of definition of rational algebraic expression?
A rational algebraic expression is the ratio of two algebraic expressions. That is, one algebraic expression divided by another. It is important that the domain is defined in such a way the the rational expression does not involve division by 0.
Who discovered rational algebraic expression?

Why do you have to solve quotient of rational algebraic expressions?
what are the example of quotient orf rational algebraic expression.
How do you determine whether an expression is rational algebraic expression or not?
If the algebraic expression can be written in the form of a(x)/b(x) where a(x) and b(x) are polynomial functions of x and b(x) ≠0, then the expression is a rational algebraic expression.
What is the meaning of rational algebraic expression?
A rational algebraic expression is the ratio of two polynomials, each with rational coefficients. By suitable rescaling, both the polynomials can be made to have integer coefficients.
How would you differentiate rational algebraic expressions from those which are not?

What is an algebraic expresion?
an algebraic expression is an expression built up from constants, variables, and a finite number of algebraic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication,division and exponentiation to a power that is a rational number). For example,
