7. Simplifying Rationals:
Now then, what is it we don’t understand
about rational expressions?
...And don’t say everything.
What is an excluded value?
Find the excluded value(s), if any, in the following.
𝟓𝒙
𝟐

8. Simplifying Rationals:

9. Simplify rational expressions by using the same steps
you would to simplify any fraction.
 Factor the numerator and denominator.
 Divide the numerator and denominator by the
GCF. The GCF may be a monomial or polynomial.
Simplifying Rationals:
What is/are the excluded value(s)?
When we cancelled factors (x – 7), we were
performing a division operation. Since division by
zero is undefined, x ≠ 7

10. On yur own.. Simplify & find excluded values
Excluded values are? w ≠ 2, 6

11. 4 - 2
2 - 4
x -y
y - x
-1
Simplify: x - 3
x + 3
Cannot be Simplified
(3 + x)(3 - x)
2(x - 3)
(3 + x)(3 - x)
2(3 - x)
