Unit 5: Rational Expressions
In this unit, you will learn how to evaluate rational expressions and perform operations such as addition, multiplication, and division involving rational expressions. You will apply the concept of multiplying rational expressions to dimensional analysis, where you will convert units from single/dual unit of measurement to another.
Completing this unit should take you approximately 17 hours.
Upon successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- evaluate rational expressions;
- reduce rational expressions;
- multiply rational expressions (with and without factoring);
- divide rational expressions (with and without factoring);
- find least common denominators;
- add and subtract rational expressions (with and without common denominators); and
- convert units using dimensional analysis (with one and two units).
