The video tutorial explains how to divide rational expressions by first simplifying them, then reciprocating the divisor, and converting the division into a multiplication problem. It covers factoring out common factors, multiplying across, and simplifying the resulting expression. The tutorial also demonstrates how to handle negative factors to achieve the final simplified form.

What is the first step in dividing rational expressions?

• Multiply the expressions directly

• Simplify the expression

• Add the expressions

• Subtract the expressions

When dividing rational expressions, which part do you reciprocate?

• The dividend

• Both the dividend and divisor

• The divisor

• Neither

What common factor is factored out from the binomial in the example?

• 6

• 5

• 4

• 3

How can you simplify an expression with terms like x - y and y - x?

• By adding them

• By factoring out a negative 1

• By multiplying them

• By dividing them

What is the final form of the expression after simplification?

• Negative 3/5 times x plus y

• Negative 5/3 times x plus y

• Positive 5/3 times x plus y

• Positive 3/5 times x plus y
