Only if the term under the radical (square root sign) can be simplified to a rational expression. For example, √(4x2).
If you divide a rational expression by another rational expression, you will again get a rational expression.
The rational fractions cannot be simplified.
false
Yes. Rational functions must contain rational expressions in order to be rational.
Any number that can be expressed as a fraction is a rational number otherwise it is an irrational number.
If there is no common factor other than 1 in a rational expression, it is in simplest terms or form.
Only if the term under the radical (square root sign) can be simplified to a rational expression. For example, √(4x2).
Another rational expression.
Yes.
If the simplified form of an expression contains an irrational number and a numerical evaluation is required then it is necessary to use a rational approximation.
For example: 1/2+1/4+1/8 are dissimilar fractions but also a rational expression that can be simplified to 7/8
If you divide a rational expression by another rational expression, you will again get a rational expression.
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 !
The expression (12x + 36)/48x can be simplified by factoring out 12/12 from the expressions. This leaves (x + 3)/4x.
Because the equivalent rational expression is 55847/1000 which cannot be simplified so that the denominator is 1.
The expression written in the question is the rational expression.
