Distributive Law Demonstrated
The distributive law of multiplication over subtraction defined and explained.
Distributive Law at Work
A practical application of the distributive law is presented.
Dividing Rational Expressions
The procedure for dividing rational expressions is demonstrated.
Dividing Rational Expressions: Two Practice Problems
Practice problems for dividing rational expressions.
Dividing Two Monomials with the Same Base
The rules for exponents includes the rule for dividing two monomials with the same base, as demonstrated here.
Dividing a Polynomial by a Monomial
Using the rules for exponents to divide a polynomial by a monomial.
Dividing a Radical by a Whole Number
A radical can only be divided by another radical. In the examples demonstrated, the only radical is in the numerator. The radical simplified and the fraction reduced.
Division and Subtraction and not Associative
Division and subtraction are not associative operations.
Division and Subtraction and not Commutative
Subtraction and division are not commutative.
Division with a Binomial in the Numerator
Examples of simplifying radical expressions with division when numerators contains a binomial.
