Sometimes we have to simplify radicals before we can add or subtract them. At first the terms might not look like they can be combined, so we have to simplify first. COMBINING RADICALS THAT REQUIRE SIMPLIFICATION FIRST

Multiply: (F.O.I.L.) BELLWORK:
34
When we say that we are going to rationalize the denominator, we are rewriting the rational expression so that we no longer have a radical in the denominator. Multiply the numerator and denominator by the smallest number that produces the square root of a perfect square in the denominator. RATIONALIZING THE DENOMINATOR Multiplication by 1 does not change the value of the rational expression. But what does it mean to multiply by 1, and how can this help us rationalize a denominator?

Adding and subtracting nth roots is very similar to adding and subtracting square roots. Sometimes we will need to simplify first. Remember: They must have the same index and radicand!!!! COMBINING NTH ROOTS

Simplify by reducing the index of the radical. Sometimes, problems are easier to simplify if we can reduce the index first SIMPLIFYING
