2. Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents.
MGSE9–12.N.RN.2 Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the
properties of exponents. (i.e., simplify and/or use the operations of addition, subtraction, and
multiplication, with radicals within expressions limited to square roots).
MGSE8.NS.2 Use rational approximation of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line, and estimate the value of expressions (e.g., estimate π2 to the nearest tenth). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of √2 (square root of 2), show that √2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.
