How do we multiply rational expressions ?


Multiplying rational expressions is similar to dividing polynomials. All you have to do is factor and eliminate the terms. Here is an example to help you out :

X²+8x+15             (X+5) (X+3)        ( X+3)
                   • =                      =                                                                   
X²+10x+25            (X+5) (X+5)         ( X+5)
