Algebra is the study of unknown factors (known as variables). Algebraic fractions are fractions with variables in the numerator or denominator, such as 36/x. Others include x2/y or 5x/y3. Since division by 0 is impossible, variables in the denominator have certain restrictions. The denominator can never equal 0. Therefore, in the fractions
36/x . . . x cannot equal 0
x2/y . . . .y cannot equal 0
5x/y3 . . .y cannot equal 0
---- [Edit]
Yes. Also called rational expressions.
An example:
m + 7
----------------------
(m - 6) (m + 2)
so, m-6 cannot equal 0, this means that m cannot equal 6, and
m + 2 cannot equal 0 also, this means that m cannot equal -2
What else can I help you with?
How do you simplify an algebraic expression that has fractions?
Multiply every term in the expression by the least common multiple of all the denominators. That will get rid of all fractions.
How do you Proving fractions algebraically?
To prove fractions algebraically, you typically show that two fractions are equivalent by manipulating their numerators and denominators using algebraic operations. This can involve cross-multiplying to check if the products are equal or simplifying both fractions to a common form. Additionally, you can use properties of equality and arithmetic operations to demonstrate that the fractions yield the same value. Ultimately, the goal is to establish a clear relationship between the two fractions through algebraic reasoning.
Why does a fraction need to be made up of numbers?
You can have algebraic fractions but, even there, the letters do represent numbers; except that their values are indeterminate.
-6 1 2 plus -1 3 10?
The answer would be -7 4/5. First convert the mixed numbers into fractions. Then use the algebraic formula for addition of fractions: a/b + c/d = (ad + bc) / bd. Last, reduce the fractions.
When were fractions discovered?
Historically, any number that did not represent a whole was called a "fraction". The numbers that we now call "decimals" were originally called "decimal fractions"; the numbers we now call "fractions" were called "vulgar fractions", the word "vulgar" meaning "commonplace". The word is also used in related expressions, such as continued fraction and algebraic fraction-see Special cases below.
Are algebraic fractions whose numerator and denominator are polynomials?
Yes.
What are algebraic fractions whose numerator and denominator are polynomials?
A rational fraction.
Why does integration by partial fractions work?
It is because the partial fractions are simply another way of expressing the same algebraic fraction.
How do you simplify an algebraic expression that has fractions?
Multiply every term in the expression by the least common multiple of all the denominators. That will get rid of all fractions.
Who uses the least common multiple?
Anyone who is trying to add or subtract fractions.
Which of the expressions are not polynomials?
Exponential, trigonometric, algebraic fractions, inverse etc are all examples.

Can coefficients be fractions?
Yes, coefficients can be fractions in algebraic expressions. Fractions may appear when coefficients are expressed in a ratio or when simplifying expressions that involve division.
