This video tutorial reviews rational expressions and equations, covering topics such as proofs, adding and subtracting rational expressions, solving rational equations, and tackling word problems. The instructor explains the importance of finding a common denominator, combining numerators, and solving quadratic equations. The tutorial also includes a practical example involving electricians Bob and Ted, demonstrating how to solve a word problem using rational equations.

What is the first step when proving an identity algebraically?

• Combining like terms immediately

• Plugging in values for the variable

• Working with the variables without plugging in values

• Moving terms from one side to the other

When adding rational expressions, what should you do if you see a subtraction sign?

• Combine the terms directly

• Flip it to addition and negate the denominator

• Flip it to addition and negate the numerator

• Ignore it
