Multiplying Fractions

In multiplying fractions, you simply multiply straight across the numerator and straight across the denominator. If you have "a" divided by "b" times "c" divided by "d," that just equals "a" times "c" divided by "b" times "d." Here's an example. The only issue with this is that you must, simply must, go ahead and simplify everything as much as possible (meaning to go ahead and factor). We notice this x squared minus 25. Let's just factor that into x + 5 times x - 5. Divided by this x squared minus 3x minus 10 can be factored into x - 5 times x plus 2. And the x plus 2 and the x do not need to be factored considering they are already prime. We simply multiply that by x plus 2 divided by x. And you’ll notice, some things in the top will actually cancel out with some things in the denominator. So, notice, these x plus 2's will cancel out, and also, the x minus 5's. So, just multiplying straight across the top, we have - the only one left, which is x plus 5, and in the denominator, just an x.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.
