1.
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F%28x-4%29\" is a rational polynomial expression,
\n" ); document.write( "with the polynomial \"1\" as the numerator,
\n" ); document.write( "and the polynomial \"x-4\" as the denominator.
\n" ); document.write( "It is undefined when \"x+=+4\" .
\n" ); document.write( "For those having qualms about calling \"1\" a polynomial,
\n" ); document.write( "we could use a fancier denominator, and write something like
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-2%29%2F%28x-4%29\" (probably a safer choice),
\n" ); document.write( "or even \"%28x-4%29%2F%28x-4%29\" (which is not equivalent to \"1\" , unless you specify \"except for \"x=4\" \", so you cannot simplify).
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F%28x%5E2%2B2x%29=1%2F%28x%28x%2B2%29%29\" is a rational polynomial expression,
\n" ); document.write( "with the polynomial \"1\" as the numerator,
\n" ); document.write( "and the polynomial \"x%5E2%2B2x\" as the denominator.
\n" ); document.write( "It is undefined when \"x=-2\" , and when \"x=0\" .
\n" ); document.write( "For those having qualms about calling \"1\" a polynomial,
\n" ); document.write( "we could use a fancier denominator, and write something like
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B4%29%2F%28x%5E2%2B2x%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "For a common denominator,
\n" ); document.write( "we need to include in that common denominator all the factors of the two denominators.
\n" ); document.write( "So, the common denominator would be
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%28x%2B2%29%28x-4%29=x%28x%5E2-2x-8%29=x%5E3-2x%5E2-8x\" .
\n" ); document.write( "To get equivalent rational expression, we need to multiply numerator and denominator times the same factor(s).
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F%28x-4%29\" is equivalent to \"x%28x%2B2%29%2F%28x%28x%2B2%29%28x-4%29%29=%28x%5E2%2B2x%29%2F%28x%5E3-2x%5E2-8x%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-2%29%2F%28x-4%29\" is equivalent to .
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-4%29%2F%28x-4%29\" is equivalent to .
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F%28x%5E2%2B2x%29=1%2F%28x%28x%2B2%29%29\" is equivalent to \"%28x-4%29%2F%28x%28x%2B2%29%28x-4%29%29=%28x-4%29%2F%28x%5E3-2x%5E2-8x%29\" .

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "2. IF \"G%28x%29%2FH%28x%29\" is an expression defined for all values of \"x\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "which means that \"H%28x%29=0\" has no real solution, AND
\n" ); document.write( "IF \"G%28x%29=0\" has no real solution either,
\n" ); document.write( "\"H%28x%29\" and \"G%28x%29\" are \"safe\" to use as denominators.
\n" ); document.write( "Then, multiplying \"G%28x%29%2FH%28x%29\" times \"2H%28x%29%2FG%28x%29\" will yield
