Radical Expressions R.7 Radical Notations ▪ Simplified Radicals
Radical Definitions Notation for a1/n If a is a real number, n is a positive integer, and a1/n is a real number, then Notation for am/n If a is a real number, m is an integer, n is a positive integer, and is a real number, then
Principle Square Root / Principle nth Root A principle square root (principle nth root)isALWAYSpositive!!!
Radical Definitions Evaluating___ If n is an even positive integer, then If n is an odd positive integer, then Use absolute value only when necessary.
Radical Definitions Product Rule Quotient Rule Power Rule If the indices are the same, multiply the radicands (numbers under the radical).
CAUTION !!!!! You cannot distribute exponents over a sum!!!!!! ex: ex:
Evaluating Roots • Write each root using exponents and evaluate. (a) (b) (c) is not a real number. (d)
Evaluating Roots • Write each root using exponents and evaluate. (e) (f)
Converting From Rational Exponents to Radicals • Write in radical form and simplify. (a) (b) (c) (d)
