Algebraic Fractions

You have encountered fractions many times since early in the study of mathematics. They occur in formulas and in many day-to-day practical problems. However, the fractions of arithmetic are made up strictly of numbers. We will now study operations on fractions whose components are algebraic expressions.

Explanation:

Upon completing this section you should be able to:

Factor the numerator and denominator of a fraction.

Simplify algebraic fractions.

An algebraic fraction is the indicated ratio of two algebraic expressions.

In your study of arithmetic you were instructed that fractional answers were always to be left in reduced, or simplified form. For the fraction you "reduced" it to by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 4. The fraction cannot be reduced because no number (other than 1) will divide both numerator and denominator. In simplifying fractions this way you were using the following definition. (hope this is helpful for you.)

Answer 2

To add fractions there are Three Simple Steps:

Explanation:

Step 1: Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same.

Step 2: Add the top numbers (the numerators), put that answer over the denominator.

Step 3: Simplify the fraction (if needed)
