Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 1 Multiply rational expressions Multiply: x 2 + x – 20 3x3x 3x –3x 2 x 2 + 4x – 5 x 2 + x – 20 3x3x 3x –3x 2 x 2 + 4x – 5 3x(1– x) (x –1)(x +5) = (x + 5)(x – 4) 3x3x Factor numerators and denominators. 3x(1– x)(x + 5)(x – 4) = (x –1)(x + 5)(3x) Multiply numerators and denominators. 3x(–1)(x – 1)(x + 5)(x – 4) = (x – 1)(x + 5)(3x) Rewrite 1– x as (– 1)(x – 1). 3x(–1)(x – 1)(x + 5)(x – 4) = (x – 1)(x + 5)(3x) Divide out common factors. SOLUTION

Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 2 Multiply a rational expression by a polynomial Multiply: x + 2 x 3 – 27 (x 2 + 3x + 9) x + 2 x 3 – 27 (x 2 + 3x + 9) Write polynomial as a rational expression. = x + 2 x 3 – 27 x 2 + 3x + 9 1 (x + 2)(x 2 + 3x + 9) (x – 3)(x 2 + 3x + 9) = Factor denominator. (x + 2)(x 2 + 3x + 9) (x – 3)(x 2 + 3x + 9) = Divide out common factors. = x + 2 x – 3 Simplified form SOLUTION ANSWER x + 2 x – 3

Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 3 Divide rational expressions Divide : 7x7x 2x – 10 x 2 – 6x x 2 – 11x + 30 7x7x 2x – 10 x 2 – 6x x 2 – 11x + 30 7x7x 2x – 10 x 2 – 6x x 2 – 11x + 30 = Multiply by reciprocal. 7x7x 2(x – 5) = (x – 5)(x – 6) x(x – 6) = 7x(x – 5)(x – 6) 2(x – 5)(x)(x – 6) Divide out common factors. Factor. 7 2 = Simplified form SOLUTION ANSWER 7 2
