10. Properties of Radicals

11. Let’s Look at Property #6 Ok… think about this What are the solutions to this?

12. Let’s Try a few

13. Simplifying Radicals No denominators with Radicals & All numbers and exponents in simplest form List: All perfect squares from 1- 15 All perfect cubes from 1- 6 All perfect fourths from 1- 4 All perfect fifths from 1- 4

14. Warm-up

15. Adding and Subtracting Radicals must be “like radicals” (same index and radicand) Examples

16. Rationalizing Denominators & Numerators Ex. 1 Ex. 2

17. Ex. 3 (with 2 terms in the denominator) Ex. 4 (with 2 terms in the numerator)

18. Now You Try Some
