Complex Rational Expressions
Simplifying a Complex Rational Expression by Multiplying by 1 in the Form LCD T LCD 1) Find the LCD of all rational expressions within the complex rational expression. 2) Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of the complex rational expression by this LCD. 3) Use the distributive property and multiply each term in the numerator and denominator by this LCD. Simplify each term. No fractional expressions should remain within the numerator and denominator of the main fraction. 4) If possible, factor and simplify.
