1. Chapter 6 More Right Triangles
Students will continue to study the similarity and side ratio relationships of right triangles. Students will understand more properties of special right triangles.

2. Section 6.1
Students will apply the Pythagorean theorem and properties of similar triangles to discover patterns in , triangles and Pythagorean Triples.

3. Rationalizing the Denominator
Students will continue to learn about simplifying radicals when in fractional form

4. Review
What is a radical? Square roots or other higher roots How do we write radicals other than square roots? How do we simplify square roots? 1. Prime factor tree 2. Groups of the same number, based on the root 3. 1 number from each group and multiply and put outside 4. Not grouped prime numbers multiply and put inside

5. Rationalize Denominator
When the radical is in the denominator? This is not written correctly We need to get the radical out of the denominator to write it in proper form

6. Process What is the radical in the denominator
Multiple both numerator and denominator by this radical
How do you multiply with radicals
Simplify
Simplify all radicals
Can you divide, simplify fraction

7. Examples

8. Homework
Worksheets Simplifying radicals Rationalizing the denom

9. 6.1.4
Students will recall and apply exponential properties and explore what fractional exponents are.

10. Exponent Properties Review
Multiply
Divide
Negative
Exponent to exponent
Addition and Subtraction
Zero
Distribution

11. Process for Simplifying
Get rid of parenthesis by distributing the exponent
Multiply common bases by adding exponents
Divide common bases by subtracting exponents, always N-D
Write all exponents postive

12. Examples

13. Fractional Exponents and Radicals
These are related How to convert back and forth

14. Examples
Numerator is exponent Denominator is radical Does it matter the order you do it in

15. Examples

22. Group Work
Work as a group on 6-12, 6-13 What rules can you determine What patterns can you determine Work through 6-14

23. Pythagorean triples
This is very helpful with integers but can be used with radicals Think of the basic and multiply each side by the same thing What are the main triples 3,4,5 5,12,13

24. Homework
Book work 6-14 and 6-15 Honors 6-17

25. 6.1.3
Students will apply previous knowledge of Triangle properties and trig ratios to determine patterns and extend their understanding and knowledge.

26. Group work
