How to Multiply & Divide Rational expressions worksheets?

Rational expressions can be multiplied and divided using the same rules as numerical fractions. However, since these expressions involve variables, it’s important to factor and simplify as part of the process.

Steps to Multiply Rational Expressions

1. Factor: Fully factor the numerators and denominators of all rational expressions.
2. Multiply the Numerators: Multiply the terms in the numerators together.
3. Multiply the Denominators: Multiply the terms in the denominators together.
4. Simplify: Cancel out any common factors between the numerator and denominator.

Steps to Divide Rational Expressions

1. Rewrite as Multiplication: Flip the second fraction (reciprocal) and change the division sign to multiplication.
2. Factor: Fully factor the numerators and denominators.
3. Simplify: Cancel common factors.
4. Multiply: Follow the steps for multiplying rational expressions.

Key Points:
Always factor fully before multiplying or dividing.
Identify excluded values (where the denominator is zero).
Simplify as much as possible by canceling common factors.
