Algebra: Chapter 10-3, p 439

Dividing Rational Expressions

We divide rational expressions using the same techniques we used in Chapter 10-2. The only difference is that we have to change the division sign in front of the 2nd term to a multiplication sign and FLIP (use the reciprocal) the second term upside down.

For example, `(8n^5)/3 รท (2n^2)/9 = (8n^5)/3 * 9/(2n^2) = (72n^5)/(6n^2) = 12n^3`
