2
Objective Students will add, subtract, multiply, divide, and simplify radicals.
3
Warm-up Define what a perfect square is using your own words. List all of the perfect squares that you can remember off the top of your head.
4
Simplifying Radicals Simplifying radicals is like creating factor trees, but we are looking for perfect square factors. Example: Are there any perfect squares that are factors of 8? What are they? x
5
Let’s try these together:

Answers to Simplifying Radicals Question D 32
10
Adding and Subtracting with Radicals Adding and subtracting with radicals is a lot like combining like terms. You can only add or subtract “like” radicals. Example: “Like” radicals: Add the coefficients! Final answer!
11
Try these on your own!
12
Question A Add/Subtract Since each term contains radical 2, just combine the coefficients!
13
Question B Add/Subtract “like” radicals
14
Question C Add/Subtract Simplify radicals that you can simplify. Combine “like” radicals.
15
Multiplying with Radicals When multiplying a radical by a radical: –multiply the coefficients –multiply the radicals –then simplify the radical if possible. Example: Final Answer? What property?

Question D Multiplication Which answer did you choose?
21
Dividing with Radicals
22
Let’s kick it up a notch… Simplify using radicals.
23
Question A - Division Simplify the radical. Take the square roots of perfect squares. Divide by 5. This is your final answer!
24
Question B - Division Choice #1 = 1.08 Choice #2 = Choice #3 =
25
Question C - Division Simplify each radical. Take square roots. Simplify as a fraction (if possible).
26
Question D - Division
