Although rational expressions can seem complicated because they contain variables, they can be simplified\u00a0using the techniques used to simplify expressions such as [latex]\\dfrac{4x^3}{12x^2}[\/latex].

They are the numbers that you can multiply together to produce another number:\u00a0[latex]2[\/latex] and\u00a0[latex]10[\/latex] are factors of\u00a0[latex]20[\/latex], as are\u00a0[latex]4, 5, 1, 20[\/latex].\r\n\r\n<strong>Terms\u00a0<\/strong>are single numbers, or variables and numbers connected by multiplication.\u00a0[latex]-4, 6x[\/latex] and [latex]x^2[\/latex] are all terms.\r\n\r\n<strong>Expressions <\/strong>are<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>groups of terms connected by addition and subtraction.\u00a0 [latex]2x^2-5[\/latex] is an expression.\r\n\r\nSimplify: [latex]\\dfrac{2x^2}{12x}[\/latex]\r\n\r\nJust as we did when we simplified fractions containing only numbers, we'll write the numerator and denominator each as a product of its smallest factors.

Notice the numerator and denominator in this rational expression consist of polynomials (sums or differences of terms). We would have to write those polynomials as products, a process called <em>factoring<\/em>,\u00a0before canceling any terms or variables. We'll see how to do that later in this module.\r\n\r\nThe polynomial above, written in factored form is\u00a0[latex]\\dfrac{2x(x+1)}{2(x+1)}[\/latex]. Note the common factors of [latex]2[\/latex] and [latex](x+1)[\/latex] in the numerator and denominator. Since these terms are being multiplied together, we can cancel the common factors.\r\n\r\n[latex]\\begin{array}{cc}\\dfrac{2x(x+1)}{2(x+1)}\\\\\r\n\r\n=\\dfrac{2\\cdot{x}\\cdot(x+1)}{2\\cdot(x+1)}\\\\\r\n\r\n=\\dfrac{\\cancel{2}\\cdot{x}\\cdot\\cancel{(x+1)}}{\\cancel{2}\\cdot\\cancel{(x+1)}}\\\\\r\n\r\n=\\dfrac{x}{1}=x\\end{array}[\/latex].\r\n\r\nWe'll discover how to write the numerator and denominator of a rational expression as products later in the module.
