Episode 3 – The Enemy MultipliesIt is a dark time for Algebra 1b students.
Many have forgotten the simple rules
of arithmetic…and lost their factoring
flowchart…
Evading the evil forces that contribute
to lack of homework, you must feel
the force…
Now, you are being asked to multiply and
divide with the enemies. You must keep up…
don’t give up yet…
FEEL THE FORCE!!!

Steps to multiply (or divide) rational expressions:
2. Completely factor numerators.
3. Completely factor denominators.
4. Simplify by reducing terms common to numerators and denominators of either expression.
5. Multiply straight across.
1. If division, flip the 2nd expression.
