Simplifying Radicals
2
Radical Flashback Simplifying Radicals: 1.Find the greatest perfect square that goes into the radicand. 2.Take the square root of the perfect square and keep the rest under the radical.
4
Variables with even exponents are perfect squares: Simplifying Square Roots with Variables
5
Simplifying Perfect Squares: Simplifying Square Roots with Variables Note: The index of a square root is 2; therefore we divide the exponent by 2
6
Simplifying Radicals that are NOT perfect squares Simplifying Square Roots with Variables Simplify the Variable: Note: The index of a square root is 2; therefore we divide the exponent by 2.
7
Simplifying Radicals that are NOT perfect squares Simplifying Square Roots with Variables Simplify the Variable: Divide the exponent by the index. The remainder stays under the radical.
8
Simplifying Square Roots with Variables Simplify the Variable: Divide the exponent by the index. The remainder stays under the radical.
9
Simplifying Square Roots with Variables Simplify the Variable: Divide the exponent by the index. The remainder stays under the radical.
10
Simplifying Square Roots with Variables Simplify the Variable: none Divide the exponent by the index. The remainder stays under the radical.
11
Simplifying Square Roots with Variables Simplify the Variable: none Divide the exponent by the index. The remainder stays under the radical.
