Analyze Rational Functions

Factor and cancel out in order to simplify.

• 1/(n-7)

• n-7

• (n-6)/(n-7)

• n-6

Factor and cancel out in order to simplify.

• 9(x+10)

• x+10

• 9

• x+9

Simplify the rational function

• 1/(x + 5)

• 1/(x - 5)

• (x - 5)(x + 5)

• (x - 5)/[(x - 5)(x + 5)]

Simplify the rational function

• 1/(3x)

• 3x(x + 1)

• 3x

• (x + 1)

Factor and cancel out in order to simplify. Label it a/b - c/d multiply a with d and b with c and all over b times d (in your notes)
