7. Roots and Radical Expressions

Real Roots Real roots are the possible solutions to a number, raised to a power.

Vocabulary and Properties Radical sign index radicand

How to find the root (other than a square root), using a graphing calculator 1. Input the root you are going to take (for example, if you are taking the third root of a number, start with the 3). 2. Press MATH and select option 5 3. Enter the value you are taking the root of. Ex: 4 MATH 5 81 ENTER 3

Practice: Find each root Solutions: 22, 7, and ERR: NONREAL ANS Let’s take a closer look at this answer

Properties and Notation: Why? We want to make sure that the root is always positive when the index is an even number When n is an even number

Note: Absolute value symbols ensure that the root is positive when x is negative. They are not needed for y because y2 is never negative. Notice that the index is an odd number here . . . Absolute value symbols must not be used here. If x is negative, then the radicand is negative and the root must also be negative.

Let’s try some Simplify each expression. Use the absolute value symbols when needed.
