11.4 Multiply & Divide Radical Expressions
Algebra 2.0
2
Main Idea We are using the Product and Quotient Properties of Square Roots to multiply and divide radical expressions. All your skills from 11.2 and Ch 7 will be needed.
3
Ex 1 Multiplying Square Roots
Multiply terms together under radical Multiply terms together outside the radical Simplify
4
Practice
5
Ex 2-Using the Distributive Property
Use the Distributive Property, then simplify.
6
Practice 2
7
Ex 3-Multiplying Sums & Differences Of Radicals
Just like multiplying binomials, use FOIL or Punnett Square.
8
Practice 3

Ex 4-Rationalizing the Denominator
You CAN’T have square roots in the DENOMINATOR, so you must get rid of them. This is called rationalizing the denominator. To rationalize the denominator, multiply both top and bottom by it.

CONJUGATES To eliminate a binomial radical in the denominator, multiply by the opposite binomial on top and bottom. Use FOIL or Punnett Square to multiply binomials.
