7.1 Rational Expressions - Reduce Rational Expressions Objective: Reduce rational expressions by dividing out common factors. Rational expressions are expressions written as a quotient of polynomials. Examples of rational expressions include: x 2 − x − 12 x 2 − 9x + 20 and 3 x − 2 and a −b b −a and 3 2 As rational expressions are a special type of fraction, it is important to remember with fractions we cannot have zero in the denominator of a fraction. For this reason, rational expressions may have one more excluded values, or values that the variable cannot be or the expression would be undefined. Example 326. State the excluded value(s): x2 − 1 3x2 +5x Denominator cannot be zero 3x2 + 5x 0 Factor x(3x +5) 0 Set each factor not equal to zero x 0 or 3x +5 0 Subtract 5 from second equation − 5 − 5 3x − 5 Divide by 3 3 3 − 5 x 3 − 5 x 0 or 3 Second equation is solved Our Solution This means we can use any value for x in the equation except for 0 and 243 − 5 . We 3
