Multiplying rational expressions made up of linear expressions

This is a quick example of factoring the numerator and denominator of a combined fraction where all the factors are separated in order to find those that divide to one.

Multiplying rational expressions involving multivariate monomials

A short reminder of how to reduce first and then multiply two numerical fractions. Then we apply the same priciples to reducing like factors in an example with more than one variable and numerical…
