Exploring Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions

The video tutorial covers tree diagrams and the counting principle. It begins with an introduction to tree diagrams, explaining their usefulness in organizing and listing possible outcomes. Several examples are provided, including scenarios with spinners, days of the week, dice, and smoothie choices. The tutorial then introduces the counting principle, demonstrating how it simplifies calculating outcomes for multiple events. The video concludes with examples illustrating the counting principle's application, highlighting its efficiency over tree diagrams for complex scenarios.

What is the primary purpose of a tree diagram?

• To organize and list all possible outcomes

• To solve algebraic equations

• To measure angles

• To calculate probabilities
