    1) Simplified radical form involves expressing radical expressions without fractions or radicals in denominators. This is done by factoring out perfect squares from under the radical and combining like terms. 2) The multiplication property of square roots states that for positive numbers a and b, the square root of a times b is equal to the square root of a times the square root of b. This property can be used to simplify radical expressions by factoring out perfect squares. 3) The division property of square roots states that for positive numbers a and b, the square root of a over b is equal to the square root of a over the square root of b. Rationalizing the denominator involves multiplying the numerator and denominator by

    Simplified Radical Form

    Objective:

    1) Describe simplified Radical Form


    2) Simplify radical expressions by
    a) Factoring out perfect squares
    b) Combine Like Terms
    Vocabulary
    Square Root: If a2 = b, then a is the square root
    of b.
    Ex: 625  25 m2  m

    Most numbers have 2 square roots.


    Principal (positive) Negative
    121  11  36  6

    To indicate both:
     9  3
    Vocabulary
    Perfect Square: Numbers whose square roots are
    integers.

    Ex: 169  13

    Approximate vs. Exact Values for Irrational Numbers

    Square Roots of Negative Numbers


    Simplified Radical Form
    In order for a radical expression to be simplified, the
    following must be true.

    1) The expression under the radical sign has no


    perfect square factors other than 1.
    2) For sums and differences, like radical terms are
    combined
    3) There are no fractions under the radical.
    4) There are no radicals in the denominator of a
    fraction.
    Multiplication Property of Square
    Roots
    For any numbers a ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0,

    a b  a  b
    Ex:
    5  6  30

    6  2 3
    Using the Multiplication Property to
    Simplify Radical Expressions
    “Factor” Perfect Square factors out from under the
    radical.

    Objective:

    Simplify radical expressions by


    a) Eliminating Fractions from under the
    radical
    b) Rationalize the denominator
    Division Property of Square
    Roots
    For any numbers a ≥ 0 and b > 0,
    a a

    Rationalizing the Denominator*

    *Means to get rid of an irrational number in the denominator of a fraction


    To Rationalize the Denominator of a fraction, multiple the numerator
    and denominator by a radical that will create a perfect square
    under the radical of the denominator.

    3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2
       
    2 2 2 2 4 2
    Simplify
