When is an algebraic expression in its lowest term

A rational expression has been reduced to lowest terms if all common factors from the numerator and denominator have been canceled. We already know how to do this with number fractions so let's take a quick look at an example.

Three students failed their last test. If 12% of the class failed, how many students are in the class?

stellarik [79]

Answer:

There are 25 students in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of students in the class

12% failed and the number of students is 3

x*12% = 3

x*.12 = 3

Divide each side by .12

x * .12 /.12 = 3/.12

x =25

There are 25 students in the class

What is this problem simplified

Svetlanka [38]

$\frac{x^2 - 5x-6}{x^2 - 36}$

You can begin to simplify this by factoring both the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{x^2 - 5x-6}{x^2 - 36} = \frac{(x-6)(x+1)}{(x-6)(x+6)}$

Next, cancel out any common factors in both the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{(x-6)(x+1)}{(x-6)(x+6)} = \frac{x+1}{x+6}$

Your answer would be $\frac{x+1}{x+6}$ .
