The plan was to show Samantha how to add or subtract two rational functions by adjusting their denominators to be the same. This would require factoring the denominators and multiplying both the numerators and denominators by the same factors. When the denominators were the same, we would combine the numerators.
Time permitting, we would also use a similar strategy to simplify complex fractions. Since Samantha wasn't present for class, I will present the lesson again the next time I teach her.
There was no assignment.
