  1. 6.4 & 6.5 Adding & SubtractingRational Expressions

  2. Finding Least Common Denominators: Monomials • Find the LCD of the numbers • List any variable that occurs ANYWHERE in ANY denominator • Give each variable its BIGGEST exponent 3x2 2x5 6 x x 6 5 5

  4. Making Equivalent Expressions 2 5 • Rewrite numerators • Make new denominators using LCD • Determine: old denom. X ? = LCD and multiply numerator by ? • Write new expressions 3x2 2x5 2 5 (2x3) (3) 6x5 6x5 4x3 15 6x5 6x5

  6. The Whole Process 2 5 • Rewrite numerators • Make new denominators using LCD • Make equivalent expressions • Combine Expressions over One Denominator + 3x2 2x5 2 5 (2x3) (3) + 6x5 6x5 4x315 6x5 6x5 + 4x3 + 15 6x5

  9. Polynomial Problems 3 _ 1 x2 – 4 x + 2 3 _ 1 • Factor all polynomials • LCD is all the different “numbers” present (x + 2)(x – 2) (x + 2) 3 _ 1 (x – 2) (x + 2)(x – 2) (x + 2)(x – 2) 3 – 1(x – 2) (x + 2)(x – 2) -x + 5 (x + 2)(x – 2)
