Module 4 Operations On Rational Expressions Part 1

This document provides instructions for performing operations on rational expressions, including multiplication and division. For multiplication, it instructs students to factor numerators and denominators, simplify common factors, and multiply. For division, it rewrites the division as a multiplication of the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor and then follows the same steps as for multiplication. It also provides examples of performing multiplication and division of rational expressions and homework problems for students to practice.
