Question 1 • Fall 24 GMS Algebra: Concepts and Connections A
Rational expressions are closed under multiplication: multiplying two rational expressions produces another rational expression, so B is true. The commutative property says factors can be reordered without changing the product, making C true. The associative property says regrouping factors does not change the product, so D is false; likewise, the closure statement in A is false. These multiplication properties parallel those for rational numbers, so E is true.
