A number or an expression is a perfect square if it can be expressed as product of
two same rational numbers or expressions.
Examples:
1. 4 is a perfect square because it can be expressed as product of two same
rational numbers 2 • 2 = 4 or (2)(2) = 4
2. The number (2)(2) = 4 is a perfect square because
(4/6) (4/6) = 16/36 or (-4/6) (-4/6) = 16/36

M9AL-II-g-1
Adding and subtracting radical expressions is very much
similar to adding and subtracting similar terms of polynomials.
Similar terms or like terms are those with the same literal parts or
literal factors. Radicals are similar if they have the same index and
the same radicands.

ACTIVITY 16: Watch these video and answer the questions that follow.
Questions:
1. How do you think the given expressions were simplified? What process did
you observe?
2. Base on the video how do we multiply radicals with the same index? With
different indices?
3. What are your conclusions on how to multiply radicals?
Multiplying Radicals
In the process of multiplying radicals, there are three cases to be considered.
a. when indices are the same. Multiply radicals and apply
Simplify the resulting radicand when necessary.
b. when indices are different but radicands are the same. Apply the following
steps:
1.Transform the radical to fractional exponents.
2. Multiply the powers by applying: xm ꞏ xn= xm+n (law of exponents)
3. Rewrite the product as a single radical.
4. Simplify the resulting radicand if necessary.
Examples:
1. √2 • √7 • √5 = √2 • 7 • 5 = √70
2. √12 • √18 = √12 • 8 = √2 • 2 • 3 • 2 • 3 • 3 = 2√6
3. 𝑥√5 • y√7 = x y √35

5. √12𝑥^𝑦 • √9𝑥^2𝑦^3
In some cases if the radicals have different indices but same radicands,
transform the radical form to exponential form. Then, multiply the powers by
applying the law of exponents and then rewriting the product as a single radical
ACTIVITY 18: Watch a video about dividing radicals. After watching answer the
question that follow. (Asynchronous)
Clickable Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxRDUc3p0QQ
Questions:
1. How do we divide radicals?
2. How ca you divide radicals of the same order?
3. How can you divide radicals of different orders?
4. What is rationalization?
Dividing Radicals
Like the multiplication of radicals, Division of radicals follows several rules,
one is simplifying by rationalization of denominators. See the examples and apply
them in the exercise that follows.
Examples:
1. √9 / √4 = 3 / 2
2. √25 / √16 = 5 / 4
3. √49 / √81 = 7 / 8
5. ( 5 + √2 ) ( 5 - √2 ) = 52 – (√2 )2 = 25 – 2 = 23
6. 1 / 1 + √2 = 1 / 1 + √2 • 1 - √2 / 1 - √2 = 1 - √2 / -1 = -1 + √2
When the denominator of a fraction contains two terms where one or both
terms contain a square root, the denominator can be rationalized by
multiplying it by its conjugate.

RADICAL EQUATION
Now let’s learn about radical equations:
A radical equation is an equation in which an unknown letter/variable
occurs under a radical sign, or with a fractional exponent.
lf an equation that contains a square root, cube root, or nth root radical, the
following procedures could be followed.
1. Isolate the radical from the other terms of the equation.
2. Raise both sides of the resulting equation to a number equal to the
index of the radical.
Example:
1. √𝑥 – 2 = 5
√𝑥 = 7
(√𝑥) 2 = (7)2
x = 49
2. √𝑥 + 4 - 2 = 5
√𝑥 + 4 =5+2
√𝑥 + 4 =7
2
(√𝑥 + 4) = (7)2
x + 4 = 49
x = 49 – 4
x = 45
