Presentation Transcript

  1. Warm-Up: November 29, 2011 • Simplify the following:

  2. Radical Expressions Section 5-6

  3. Product Property of Radicals • If n is an even natural number, and a and b are positive real numbers • If n is an odd natural number, and a and b are real numbers

  4. Simplifying Square Roots • Factor the radicand into as many perfect squares as possible. • Can use a factor tree for the coefficient, and find pairs of the same factor • Use the product property to isolate the perfect squares. • Simplify each radical.

  5. Example 1 • Simplify

  6. You-Try #1 • Simplify

  7. Quotient Property of Radicals • If n is an even natural number, and a and b are positive real numbers • If n is an odd natural number, and a and b are real numbers, and b≠0

  8. Simplifying Radical Expressions All of the following must be true to be in simplified form: • The index, n, must be as small as possible. • The radicand contains no factors (other than 1) that are nth powers of an integer or polynomial. • The radicand contains no fractions. • No radicals appear in the denominator. • The process of eliminating radicals from a denominator is called rationalizing the denominator.

  16. Adding and Subtracting Radicals • Only like terms can be combined • Index of the radicals must be the same • Radicands must be the same • Simplify radicals before attempting to combine • Like terms are combined the same way that “x” terms are combined
