How do you know when a radical problem is done? 1.No radicals can be simplified. Example: 2.There are no fractions in the radical. Example: 3.There are no radicals in the denominator. Example:
Simplify. Divide the radicals. Uh oh… There is a radical in the denominator! Whew! It simplified!
Simplify Since the fraction doesn’t reduce, split the radical up. Uh oh… There is a fraction in the radical! How do I get rid of the radical in the denominator? Multiply by the “fancy one” to make the denominator a perfect square!
