5-5 ROOTS OF REAL NUMBERS Objective: Students will be able to simplify radicals.

Terminology  Index: tells us what root we are looking for  Radicand: term underneath the radical sign

To Find the ROOT of a VARIABLE…  divide the exponent on the variable by the index.  Examples:

Find the roots of each of the following: 1) 2)3) 4)5)6)

COMMON ROOTS

5-6 RADICAL EXPRESSIONS Objectives Students will be able to: 1) Simplify radical expressions 2) Add, subtract, multiply, and divide radical expressions

Steps to simplify a square root. 1) Factor the radicand into as many squares as possible. 2) Isolate the perfect square terms. 3) Simplify each radical.

Example 1: Simplify each expression. 1)2) 3)4)

Try these. 4)5)

 Adding and subtracting radicals is very similar to adding and subtracting monomials.  Remember, to add or subtract monomials, you need the same variables and same exponents on those variables (like terms).  To add or subtract radical expressions, you need the same radicand and same index (like radical expressions)  If the terms have the same radicand and same index, you add/subtract the terms on the outside of the radical expression, and keep the index and radicand.  You may need to simplify the terms before you can add/subtract.

Example 2: Simplify. 1)2) 3)4)

Try these: 5)6)

 When multiplying radical expressions, the terms on the outside of the radicals are multiplied, and the radicands are multiplied.  You then simplify, if possible.  If you choose, you can simplify the radical expressions first (if possible), and then multiply.  EXAMPLE TIME!!!

Example 3: Simplify. 1)2) 3)4)

 There can never be a radical in the denominator of a fraction.  If a denominator contains a radical, the expression must be rationalized. This occurs by multiplying the entire expression by a form of the number 1. The goal is to multiply by a quantity so that the radicand has an exact root.  Let’s see what this all means…
