Simplifying Rational Expressions and Identifying Restrictions
30 tutor-authored questions for this Ontario curriculum expectation, ordered easiest to hardest, every one with a full worked solution. Work through all 30 with your weekly-lesson access code.
Sample: the first question, solved
Cancel the common factor in (x²−9)/(x−3) and state the resulting expression, including the restriction.
📘 Worked solution
✓Factor the numerator as (x−3)(x+3); the (x−3) factor cancels with the denominator, leaving x+3, with restriction x≠3.
And one from the hard end
"Simplify f(x)=(x³−8)/(x²−4), stating restrictions, and identify any holes."
