## Algebraic Expressions II **What is Algebraic Fractions and Quadratics?** Algebraic fractions are ratios of polynomials, similar to number fractions. Quadratic expressions are polynomials of degree 2, like $ax^2 + bx + c$. **Key Points** 1. To add/subtract algebraic fractions, ensure denominators are the same. 2. A quadratic expression has the highest power of 2. 3. Factorizing $x^2 + bx + c$ in [Preview only]
