Simplifying complex fractions

The video tutorial explains how to simplify complex fractions by eliminating fractions in the numerator and denominator. It introduces the concept of using the Least Common Denominator (LCD) to simplify the expression. The tutorial demonstrates the process of multiplying each term by the LCD to remove fractions, resulting in a simplified rational expression without fractions in the numerator or denominator.

What is the primary goal when simplifying complex fractions?

• To make the expression more complex

• To eliminate the fractions

• To increase the number of terms

• To add more fractions

Which of the following is a method to simplify complex fractions?

• Dividing by zero

• Ignoring the fractions

• Finding the Least Common Denominator (LCD)

• Adding all terms together

What is the LCD in the given example?

• X - Y

• XY

• X/Y

• X + Y

What happens when you multiply each term by the LCD?

• The expression becomes more complex

• The fractions are eliminated

• The terms are added together

• The fractions remain unchanged

What is the final form of the expression after simplification?

• A complex fraction

• A fraction with more terms

• An unsimplified expression

• A rational expression without fractions in the numerator or denominator
