Today, students reviewed some polynomial concepts before taking a quiz. Concepts included were adding, subtracting and using distributive property to simplify polynomials, multiplying polynomials, and factoring out a monomial (UN-distributive property, as we call it).
After the quiz, we briefly started the next concept, which is rational expressions. They are just fraction which have polynomials in the numerator and denominator instead of numbers. The good news is the rules for operations with them are the same as normal fractions! It might be a good idea to review fraction rules!
Homework tonight was a sheet with 4 rational expression problems. The last one we didn't go over in class, but I'd still like students to see what they can do. They have the skills and the knowledge to figure it out!
