Algebraic Fractions Concepts

This video tutorial introduces algebraic fractions, explaining that they are similar to numerical fractions but involve algebraic expressions. It covers simplifying algebraic fractions by canceling common factors and factorizing numerators and denominators. The video also demonstrates how to add and subtract algebraic fractions by finding a common denominator and expanding brackets. The tutorial concludes with a preview of solving algebraic fractions, which will be covered in part two.

What is an algebraic fraction?
