Lesson for
today!
 Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

1. Perform multiplication and division

of functions with 95% confidence.

2. Solve given function composition

comprehensively.
Remember: Example:
In multiplying, 1) 𝟏𝟐
 like signs is positive.
 unlike signs is 2) 𝟏𝟐
negative.
3)
Remember: Example:
In dividing, 1) 𝟒
 like signs is positive.
 unlike signs is 2)
negative.
3)
Remember: Example 1:
In multiplying fractions, Solution 1:
 First, multiply the numerators. 2 3
¿ ×
3
 Second, multiply the two
denominators. 2 ×3
¿
 Finally, simplify the new 3 × 4
fraction or reduce to lowest
6 6 1
terms.   ¿ ÷ ¿
12 6 2
 Remember: Example 1:
In multiplying fractions, Solution 2:
 The fractions can also be 1 2
simplified before multiplying ¿ ×
by factoring out common 3

factors in the numerator and
denominator. 1

Example 3:
Solution:
2∙ 5 3 ∙5 The numerator and denominator must be rewritten in
¿ ∙
3∙7 2 ∙ 2∙ 2of its prime factors
terms

2 ∙5 ∙ 3 ∙ 5 Common factors in the numerator and denominator

¿ can be simplified as “1”, which is often called
3 ∙ 7 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙“cancelling”

¿ Multiply the numerators to have the new
7 ∙ 2 ∙ 2numerator.

25 Multiply the denominators to have the new

¿
28 denominator
Remember: Example 1:
In dividing fractions, Solution:
 Change the operation 1
into 1 1 4
multiplication. ÷ = ∙
2
 Multiply the first fraction (dividend)
4 2 1
with the reciprocal of the second
fraction (divisor).
