8 0

If the two rational expressions that you want to add or subtract have the same denominator you just add/subtract the numerators which each other. When the denominators are not the same in all expressions that you want to add or subtract as in the example below you have to find a common denominator.

First we need to write the factors of the polynomial. In order for 1, 4, and -3 to be roots, they need to be the x values that make the polynomial equal 0.

(x - 1) = 0

That would be the factor for x = 1 because when we plug 1 in for x we get 1 - 1 which equals 0.

Multiply all the factors together.

(x-1)(x-4)(x+3)=0

Now FOIL.

$(x^2-5x+4)(x+3)$

$x^3-2x^2-11x+12$
