Shows that the division of sqaure roots is equivalent to the square root of a fraction, and then simplifies the fraction to complete the task.

Demonstrates how the quotient rule for exponents is applied the same way to rational exponents.

Simplifies a complex fraction by distributing the LCD of each small fraction across the top and the bottom so that all small fractions can be swept away.

|
A complex fraction is multiplied through on the top and the bottom by the common denominator of all smaller fractions, eliminating the denominators of those smaller fractions.
|
|
|
Simplifies a complex fraction by multiplying the top and bottom by the common denominator of the smaller fractions so their denominators can be eliminated. Further simplification is considered.

|
This demonstrates adding two rational expressions that have different terms individually in the numerator and a common denominator. When the fractions are added, it creates the possibility of adding…
