Rational Expressions and Their Operations

The video tutorial explains how to divide rational expressions by treating them as fractions and multiplying by the inverse. It covers the multiplication of numerators and denominators, followed by simplifying the expression through factoring and canceling terms. The tutorial also highlights the importance of domain constraints, emphasizing that the expression is undefined when certain values make the denominator zero.

What is the first step in dividing one rational expression by another?

• Divide the numerators directly

• Add the two expressions

• Multiply by the inverse of the second expression

• Subtract the second expression from the first
