Video Definition 42--Rationals and Radicals--Simplifying a Rational Expression (Spanish Audio)

Topic

Rationals and Radicals

Description

Simplifying a Rational Expression involves factoring out terms from both the numerator and denominator to reduce the expression to its simplest form. The example demonstrates simplifying (x^2 + 2x + 1) / (x^2 - 2x - 3) into (x + 1) / (x - 3) by factoring the quadratic expressions. This term supports the sequence by showing how algebraic fractions can be reduced to simpler forms, which is crucial for operations on rational expressions.
