Objective: The student will learn how to simplify radicals containing common factors and variable factors using the product rule for radicals.

Lesson 9-2a Simplifying Radicals

Vocabulary 11.1 an expression under a radical p 586 (root) sign 11.1 an expression with a radical in it. p 586

= 2(5) = 10

On every quiz or homework with radicals your answers MUST be in simplest form. For radical expressions here are the rules: No radicands have perfect factors, except for 1. 2. No radicands have fractions. 3. No radicands are in the denominator.
