1. Radical Expressions
CA 2.0

2. Objective - To simplify radical expressions involving multiplication and division.

3. Multiplying and Dividing Radicals
When multiplying radicals:
first multiply the coefficients
then multiply the radicands
Remember to SIMPLIFY!

5. The Distributive Property:1) 2)

6. Using FOIL (or Punnett Rectangles):1) 3) 2) 4)

7. CONJUGATES
Conjugates are almost like opposites, but instead of changing both signs, only the middle sign changes.

8. State the conjugate of the radical expression.
