Explain how it is solved using quadratic methods. Choose the correct answer below O A. The rational equation simplifies to a quadratic equation once it is multiplied through by the smallest denominator to rid the equation of fractions. O B The rational equation simplifies to a quadratic equation once it is multiplied through by the LCD to rid the equation of fractions. O c The rational equation simplifies to a quadratic equation once it is multiplied through by the GCF to rid the equation of fractions. D. The rational equation simplifies to a quadratic equation once it is multiplied through by the largest denominator to rid the equation of fractions

Explanation / Answer

correct option is (B).

Any equation with one or more rational terms(or fractions) is a rational equation. We can turn them into quadratic by multiplying them with Least Common Denominator (LCD).

First we find a common denominator then write each fraction with that denominator, and then multiply with the common denominator to get a quadratic equation.
