Key Concepts

Equivalent Expressions

Equivalent expressions look different but represent the same value for all possible values of the variable(s) within their domain. When rewriting a rational expression with a new denominator (such as the LCD), you multiply the numerator and denominator by the same expression to maintain equality, ensuring the modified expression is equivalent to the original.

Rational Expressions

Rational expressions are fractions where both the numerator and the denominator are algebraic expressions, typically polynomials. Mastery of rational expressions involves understanding how to manipulate and simplify these fractions through factoring and finding common denominators.

Least Common Denominator (LCD)

The LCD is the smallest expression that contains every factor from each of the denominators of a set of rational expressions. It is essential for combining or comparing rational expressions by providing a common denominator, which simplifies the process of adding, subtracting, or rewriting them.
