Homework • HW: Simplifying Rational Expressions with GCF
How will I meet the objective today? • By the end of today’s lesson, I will meet the objective bysimplifying rational expressions using a GCF with 80% accuracy. Rate Yourself on the objective! 4 - I can teach today’s lesson 3 - I understand most of today’s lesson. 2 - I only understand some of today’s lesson. 1 – I don’t understand today’s lesson.

Factoring Method: GCF **Always look for a GCF before using any other factoring method.
Ex: Find the GCF(6a5,3a3,2a2) The terms share two factors of a • 6a5 = 2*3*a*a*a*a*a • 3a3 = 3*a*a*a • 2a2 = 2*a*a GCF(6a5,3a3,2a2)=a2 Note: The exponent of the variable in the GCF is the smallest exponent of that variable the terms
Ex: Factor 7x2 + 3x Think of the Distributive Law: a(b+c) = ab + ac reverse it ab + ac = a(b + c) Do the terms share a common factor? What is the GCF(7x2, 3x)? Recall: GCF(7x2, 3x) = x Factor out 2 7 x + 3 x = x ( + ) What’s left? x x 7x2 + 3x = x(7x + 3)
Steps to Solve: 1. Find the greatest common factor (GCF). 2. Divide the polynomial by the GCF. The quotient is the other factor. 3. Express the polynomial as the product of the quotient and the GCF.
I Do GCF: 3cd 3cd(2 - 4cd + 1)
We Do Denominator GCF: 3k (3k - 10) Simplifying Numerator GCF: 6k - 6k(k²+ k - 2) 6k(k + 2)(k - 1) 2
You Do Denominator GCF: 4 (a - 9) Simplifying Numerator GCF: 2 2a(a - 9) 2
Answer these questions in your summary • When simplifying ration expressions, always check …. • To factor out the GCF, … • After factoring out the GCF, … • Once the numerator and denominator are factored, …
