RATIONAL EXPRESSIONS!!!!?????
Q. i really newed help!!! what are the steps to solving rational expressions by multiplying
Asked by Sammy - Tue Jun 9 20:23:01 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If it's an equation with rational expressions, you can multiply through by the common denominator. FACTOR first so you can determine the LCD. If it's NOT an equation, you need to get a common denominator the same way, but cannot multiply through. Just treat them like regular fractions -- combine numerators once you have a common denominator. that's it! ;) ~~~ if you'd give an example, it'd be easier to help you ~~~

A. For my students, it is remembering not to cancel part of something that is added or subtracted, i.e. something that is not a factor; strategy is for me to tell them several times every day and show them why it doesn't work until they are sick of hearing me say it.

Q. When solving an equation containing rational expressions, it is permissible to remove the denominator by multiplying both sides of the equation by the LCD. Can we do the same when trying to simplify a rational expression by itself?
Asked by Patricia F - Tue Aug 28 20:48:42 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Dear Patricia, When simplifying equation, apart from multiplying both sides, you can also dividing both sides, adding both sides, substracting both sides, powering both sides by the power of 2,3,.. n root both sides (like squareroot, cuberoot, etc.) with the same numbers or variables or equations. Hope this helps. Kind regard, Ryonn

Asked by Mandy - Sat Nov 14 11:02:27 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The only way is to find common denominators. But you can use a shortcut if there are only two fractions involved. Multiply across and use these products as numerators. Multiply the denominators and use this as the denominator. Add the two numerators, and put over the common denominator. Reduce the answer if possible (and with this shortcut, it is usually possible). That is : If you need to find the sum of 3/2 and 1/6 : Do 3 * 6 for one numerator Do 2 * 1 for the other The denominator is 2 * 6 So this is 18 + 2 over 12 or 20/12 But you can reduce this by dividing both by 4 to get the answer in lowest terms : or 5/3 To do the sum of 1/(x) + 4/(5x) : Do 1 * 5x for one numerator Do x * 4 for the other The denominator is 5x * x So this is 5x… [cont.]

can someone answer my question about dividing two rational expressions?
Q. Do you only multiply the numerators by the LCD everytime, or do you have to ever multiply the denominators by the LCD , in dividing two rational expressions?
Asked by Elisha B - Sat Apr 11 21:28:01 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You always multply the numerators by the LCD, with the intention of canceling out all denominators, making resulting calculations simpler. Even in this small example: x/2 + x/5 = 2 Multiply everything by the LCD like we did in your other one with the trinomial denominator: LCD is 10: 5x + 2x = 20 7x = 20 x = 20/7

A. You have an amplifier with impedance R (this number can be found in the specifications printed in the instruction manual). You want to buy speakers which will give you the loudest possible volume. What should be the impedance of the speakers in order to maximize the power output across the speakers? (impedance is like "resistance", but for AC circuits) If E = the voltage out of your wall outlet (120 volts in most US outlets) I= the current flowing through the system R = impedance of the amplifier x = impedance of the speakers then Ohm's law says E = I (R + x) or I = E/(R + x) Power across the speakers is given by P = x I^2 = x E^2/(R + x)^2 the question is, for given values of E and R, what value of x will maximize the value of P.… [cont.]

Asked by miss moocows - Thu Jan 21 10:15:15 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Let's say that you have two fractions, 1/2 and 2/3, and you want to add and subtract them. In order to do so, you have to have a common denominator. The least common denominator is a good one to work with, but any common denominator will do. The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. In order to change the denominator to six without affecting the value of the fraction, we need to multiply the fraction by some form of 1. For example, with 1/2, we want the denominator to be 6. 2 x 3 = 6, but if we just write 1/6, though, that changes the value of the fraction. So what we do is multiply the fraction by 1 in the form of 3/3. So (1/2) * (3/3) = (1 * 3)/(2 * 3) = 3/6 We do the same with 2/3. 3 * 2 = 6, so we multiply (2/3) * (2/2) = (2… [cont.]

A. Multiply thro` by (z - 2)(z + 5): z(z + 5) - (z - 2) = 7 z^2 + 5z - z + 2 = 7 z^2 + 4z -5 = 0 (z + 5)(z - 1) = 0 z = -5 or z = 1 The only acceptable solution is z = 1. (a + 4)/2 = (a + 4)/a...multiply through by 2a: a(a + 4) = 2(a + 4) a^2 + 4a = 2a + 8 a^2 + 2a - 8 = 0 (a + 4)(a - 2) = 0 a = -4, or a = 2. If a = 0, (a + 4)/a is undefined. You seem confused about these ext solns. they occur in (1) because when x = 2, z/z-2 = z/0, which is undefined. Same with z = -5.

How do I use rational expressions to solve this problem?
Q. One machine can do a job in 5 hours alone. How many hours would it take a second machine to complete the job alone if both machines together can do the job in 3 hours?

A. Take the sum of the time worked together divided by time for each machine to do the job alone, and set it equal to 1: 3/5 + 3/x = 1 Solve for x: 3/x = 1 - 3/5 = 2/5 x/3 = 5/2 (Invert the fractions on each side; it's just easier): x = (5)(3)/2 = 15/2 = 7.5 hrs for the 2nd machine alone
