Chapter 5 Lesson 3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Finding Square Roots
VOCAB Square Root – is a number that produces a specified quantity when multiplied by itself Radical Sign – is the symbol for a square root Radicand – is the number beneath the radical sign Radical – is the whole expression Rationalizing the Denominator – is when you multiply the numerator and denominator by the denominator when there’s a radical in the denominator, this will eliminate the radical sign
DIRECTIONS (Simplifying) Combine Like Terms Distribute the Radical (ONLY for Fractions) Find a perfect square 4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100… Rewrite the radical as a multiplication problem Reduce your perfect Square
