How Do You Multiply a Rational Expression by a Polynomial?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Multiply a rational expression and a polynomial. No problem, you can do it. Turn your polynomial into a fraction and multiply. You might need to factor your polynomials first to see if you can cancel out some terms, thereby reducing it before you have to multiply.
