Simplifying Radical Expressions, Including Fractions

We went over the information in lesson 11.4 today. We started by reviewing how to add fractions, and how getting a common denominator is an important part of the process. We then reviewed how to factor expressions, and cancel out common factors found in both the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) of the fraction. Lastly, we learned how to determine values that would not work in a fraction. Any value for the variable that causes the denominator to become zero is not to be included in the answer. This is known as the excluded value (or values).
