DIVIDING RATIONAL ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS
In dividing Rational Algebraic expressions, get the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply
the rational expression.
Adding and Subtracting Rational Algebraic
Expressions
In adding or subtracting rational algebraic
expressions with the same denominator, simply add or
subtract the numerator by combining similar terms and
copy the similar denominator. Simplify the resulting
expression if needed.
Examples:
= 𝒂 − 𝒃 + 𝟔𝒂 − 𝟑𝒃
𝑎−𝑏 6𝑎 −3𝑏 𝟖𝒃
1. Add 𝑎𝑛𝑑
8𝑏 8𝑏
= 𝒂 + 𝟔𝒂 − 𝒃 − 𝟑𝒃
𝑎 − 𝑏 6𝑎 − 3𝑏 𝟖𝒃
+
8𝑏 8𝑏 = 𝟕𝒂 − 4𝒃
