Guide Questions:
1. What is the major skill in simplifying rational should mastered?
- Finding the LCD
3. What is the difference in solving with same denominator rational expressions and unlike
denominators rational expressions?
- In solving expressions with the same denominator, you can perform the operation right away,
but with unlike denominators you first need to find the LCD.
4. What should be done to be the final answer in adding or subtracting rational expressions?
- Simplify the Answer
6. What should be done first in the binomial and trinomial terms in the rational expressions?

B. Read the situation below and answer the questions that follow.
1. Vince’s parents bought him a new pair of school shoes. The shoes were placed in an ultra-thin
2
rectangular shoe box with square base which has a volume V =s 2 h and had a surface area S A =2 s + 4 sh.
Express the ratio of the volume to its surface area ( SV ) in simplest form.
A
sh
Ratio =
2 s+2 h
2. Your school organized a tree planting activity participated by all learners and teachers in Grades 7 to 10.
To protect the newly planted trees from the harsh environment, a triangular tree guard was installed.
2 x 2 +4 x +2
The base (b) of one side of the triangular tree guard in terms of x is and its area (A) is
x−1
x 2+ 5 x + 4square units.
Questions:
a. What is the height (h) of the triangular tree guard in terms of?

x2 +3 x−4
H=
x+1
b. What did you do to find the height of the triangular tree guard?
2A
- I firstly isolated h on one side of the equation which became h= .
b
- Next I substituted the values in terms of x to the equation then performed the necessary
operations and simplified.
