Bellwork reviewed finding the sum and difference of rational expressions.

The remainder of the period we finished discussing Sec 9-5 by learning how to simplify Complex Rational Expressions.  I showed students two methods. There are numerous other methods.  If a student wishes to learn some of these other methods they are welcome to stop by and I will show them.
