Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions
Multiplying Polynomials
Distribute
• Multiply each term inside
the parentheses by the
term outside the
parentheses.
3x5(x7 – 2x4 + 11x)
FOIL
• First – Outer – Inner – Last
(3x + 5)(x – 7)
Multiplying Polynomials, cont.
Vertical Multiplication
• Works well when you multiply anything larger
than a binomial and a binomial.
– Example: (3x2 – x + 1)(x2 + 2x – 3)
• Very similar to long multiplication by hand.
Example
• (7x2 – 5x +6)(2x – 1)
Example
• (3x2 – x + 1)(x2 + 2x – 3)
Multiplying with Trigonometric
Functions
• Exactly the same as multiplying without
trigonometric functions.

Factoring
• Remember, there are four types of factoring
that we reviewed at the beginning of the
semester:
– Leading Coefficient = 1 (“Regular” Factoring)
– Leading Coefficient ≠ 1 (Box Method or Welsh
Method)
– Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
– Difference of Squares
Leading Coefficient = 1
x2 – 7x + 10
Leading Coefficient ≠ 1
3x2 – 11x – 20
Greatest Common Factor
4x4 – 40x3 + 8x2
Difference of Squares
81x4 – 100
Factoring with Trigonometric
Functions
• Exactly the same as factoring without
trigonometric functions.

Simplifying Rational Expressions
• You can only cancel factors that are separated
by multiplication!!!

• You can also reduce factors – as long as
they’re separated by multiplication.

2. Cancel and/or cross cancel any common
factors that are separated by multiplication.
3. Optional – Rewrite the simplified fractions.

together and the denominators together.)

Adding and Subtracting Rational
Expressions
• If the fractions have the same denominator,
add or subtract the numerators. (Make sure
to distribute the subtraction sign!!!)
• Simplify the fraction is possible.
Examples
x  5 x  6x  21

x 7
x 7
2
sinx  4 2 sinx  5

sinx  2 sinx  2
Adding and Subtracting Rational
Expressions, cont.
• If the fractions have the different denominators,
1. Factor the numerator and the denominator.
2. Simplify each fraction individually if possible.
3. Compare the denominators of each fraction. Identify
the “missing” factors from each fraction. (Finding the
Least Common Denominator)
