Using Operations to Combine Rational Functions
In this lesson, you will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational functions. By adding and subtracting the individual functions, you'll obtain a common denominator, which will allow you to combine the fractions. By multiplying, you'll simply multiply the numerators and denominators. By dividing, you'll multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction and simplify. Remember that when dividing, you cannot use 0 as a denominator.

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
