Simplifying rational expressions

Simplest Form A rational expression is in SIMPLEST FORM when its numerator and denominator are polynomials that have no common factors. *Note: when simplifying we still need to remember holes.

Examples Simplify the expression. State holes, vertical asymptotes, horizontal asymptotes, domain and range. 1.
