Question 466244:  I need help Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions from Alegbra 2.
 
Simplying. Identify any x-values for which the expression is undefined:  
1.) 4x^2         2.) x+4          3.) 6x^2+7x-3   
   -----          --------            --------- 
   2x-6           3x^2+11-4            -3^2+x 
 
Multiplying. Assume that all experessions are defined. 
1.) x-2    4x-6            2.) x^2-16     x-2        
   ---- X ----                -------- X -------- 
  2x-3    x^2-4               x^2-4x=4   x^2+6x+8
 
Dividing. Assume that all expressions are defined
 
Another thing, is there some kind of system where I can put symbols for dividing, multiplying, & a line where there's a equation that has a line in between, for example, 4   
                     --- 
                      2

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Simplying. Identify any x-values for which the expression is undefined:  
1.) 4x^2         2.) x+4          3.) 6x^2+7x-3   
   -----          --------            --------- 
   2x-6           3x^2+11x-4            -3^2+x  
----- 
Note: The denominators cannot be zero. 
1.  x cannot be 3 
2. Factors are (3x-1)(x+4); x cannot be 1/3 ; x cannot be -4 
3. x cannot be 9

Multiplying. Assume that all expreessions are defined. 
1.) x-2    4x-6            2.) x^2-16     x-2        
   ---- X ----                -------- X -------- 
  2x-3    x^2-4               x^2-4x=4   x^2+6x+8 
---------------------------------------------------------- 
1. Factor where you can: 
[(x-2)/(2x-3)] 
--- 
Cancel factors common to a numerator and a denominator: 
[1/(2x-3)] 
---- 
= [2(x-3)]/[(2x-3)(x+2)]

Just use 4/2
