To divide rational expressions, you can follow these steps:
- Simplify both the numerator and denominator of the rational expressions, if possible.
- Keep the first rational expression as it is.
- Flip the second rational expression (invert it) by swapping the numerator and denominator.
- Rewrite the division operation as multiplication by multiplying the first rational expression with the inverted second rational expression.
- Simplify the resulting expression, if possible, by canceling out common factors in the numerator and denominator.
- If necessary, factorize the numerator and denominator further to simplify the expression.
That's it! You have successfully divided the rational expressions.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
