In this lesson, you learned some methods of simplifying rational expressions and radical
expressions. Here are important points to remember:
▪ Properties of exponents hold for all integer exponents as well as rational exponents.
▪ A radical is in its simplest form if all these conditions are satisfied:
a. no factor of the radicand can be written as an equivalent value or expression with
an exponent greater than or equal to the index;
b. the radicand does not contain a fraction;
c. there are no radicals in the denominator; and

d. the index and the exponent of the radicand have no common factor other than
one.
