Domain and Factorization Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to multiply rational expressions and determine their domains. It begins with a basic introduction to multiplying rational expressions, similar to multiplying fractions. The tutorial then delves into prime factorization to simplify expressions by identifying common factors. It also covers how to determine the domain by excluding values that make the denominator zero. The second part of the video involves multiplying and factoring another set of rational expressions, followed by simplification and domain determination.

What is the first step in multiplying rational expressions?

• Add the numerators and denominators

• Multiply the numerators and denominators

• Subtract the numerators from the denominators

• Divide the numerators by the denominators

What is the prime factorization of 12x^2?

• 3 * 3 * x * x

• 2 * 2 * 3 * x

• 2 * 3 * x * x

• 2 * 2 * 3 * x * x

Which value must be excluded from the domain of the first expression?

• x = -1

• x = 0

• x = 2

• x = 1

What is the factorization of y^2 + 2y - 24?

• (y - 4)(y - 6)

• (y + 6)(y - 4)

• (y + 4)(y + 6)

• (y - 6)(y + 4)

Which of the following is a common factor in the second expression?

• y - 2

• y + 3
