- Show two different algebraic methods to simplify 432 . Explain all your steps.arrow_forwardExplain all the steps you take to simplify the rational expression p2+4p219p2 .arrow_forwardWhy is multiplication and division of rational expressions easier to calculate than addition and subtraction? When adding two rational numbers together What is the simplest way to find a common denominator of two fractions, even if it is not the least common denominator? If you don’t use the least common denominator when adding or subtracting rational numbers or expressions, what will you have to do to simplify your answer? Give an example of a relationship between x and y that is represented by a rational expression.arrow_forward
- the easiest way to simplify the complex rational expression. (6+(1/x))/(36-(1/x^2))arrow_forwardA rational expression whose numerator or denominator or both contain rational expressions is called a/an_________ rational expression or a/an fraction___________.arrow_forwardadd and subtract rational expressions; What are the 3 steps and find the least common denominator when dealing with rational expressions? Explain all steps required to simplify the following rational expression>>> (x^2+2x/x-3)+(x^2-3x-15/x-3) use math and english sentences.arrow_forward
- Why is the product of two rational numbers always rational? Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete the proof. Let a/b and c/d represent two rational numbers. This means a, b, c, and d are? (A.integers / B.irrational numbers)and b and d are not 0. The product of the numbers is ac/bd, where bd is not 0. Both ac and bd are?(A irrational numbers/ B.integers)and bd is not 0. Because ac/bd is the ratio of two?(A.irrational numbers/B.integers)the product is a rational number.arrow_forwardFind all the numbers for which the rational expression is undefined 6/(z-5)arrow_forwardTo host an event at a popular convention center, it costs $250 plus $10 per person attending. Step 3 of 3 : Determine which values of the variable will make the rational expression from Step 1 undefined.arrow_forward
