Complex Fractions
A complex fraction is a fraction that contains a fraction in its numerator or denominator.
Algorithm:
A complex fraction consists of three separate problems, the numerator, the dominator and the division problem.
Numerator
1. Identify the common denominator for the fractions in the numerator.
2. Adjust the numerators and denominators
3. Add or subtract the numerators
4. Reduce if possible
Denominator
1. Identify the common denominator for the fractions in the denominator.
2. Adjust the numerators and denominators
3. Add or subtract the numerators
4. Reduce if possible
Division
1. Take the reciprocal of the denominator and multiply
2. Cross-cancel if possible
3. Write your answer in simplified form

have graphs that are hyperbolas with asymptotes at (vertical) and (horizontal).
Algorithm:
1. If the rational function is written in ‘simple’ form, then proceed to step 2.
2. Identify the vertical and horizontal asymptotes.
3. Draw and label the asymptotes.
4. Make a t-chart, using two points from each side of the vertical asymptote.
5. Plot the points and draw the hyperbola.
