1. Do Now
Pick up the new calendar and put it in your notes section behind all the notes in your note section
We will finish watching the youtube video from yesterday and then we need to rock and roll!

2. Day 1: Simplifying Radicals
Unit 5: Radicals
Day 1: Simplifying Radicals

3. What do exponents mean?? 62 =
Radical are the inverse operation of exponents

5. Notation
Radical sign
Index
Radicand

6. How to simply Radicals Prime Factorize the radicand
Circle sets of # in the index
Cross and Toss them in front of the radical
Simplify the leftovers

7. Let’s Simplify the following:
Prime Factorize the radicand

8. Use Prime Factorization!48 24 2 2 12 6 2 2 3

9. Now, circle pairs of factors that are the same.
Why pairs?! Because the index is two for square roots!
For each pair, Cross and Toss out one of those factors and place it in front of the radical

10. Let’s try another one with variables!!

11. What happens here?!?

12. Try this one!!

13. However, the index isn’t always 2!
How many sets do we circle in this case!?!

14. Let’s try another, don’t forget to look at the index!

15. How about this one?!
