Simplifying Radicals

The document defines radical expressions and symbols. It states that a radical expression contains the radical sign (√) and has an index, radicand, and power. The index indicates the degree of the radical, the radicand is the number or expression inside the radical sign, and the power is the exponent of the radicand. Examples are then given of evaluating radical expressions and simplifying radicals with the same radicand and index. Multiple choice problems follow asking to write radical expressions in simplified radical form.

 The symbol n√𝑎m is called radical. A radical
expression or a radical is an expression
containing the symbol √ called radical sign. In
the symbol n√𝑎m ,
n is called the index or order which indicates

the degree of the radical such as square root √


, cube root ∛ , and fourth root ∜ , am is called
the radicand which is a number or expression
inside the radical symbol and m is the power or
exponent of the radicand.
