Remember this? As a Radical index√(radicand)power Look back in your notes to help you remember!!! Here are some helpful hints...
# 1 – 6 • Use a factor tree to break down the radicands. • Remember what the index means
#7 – 8 • Remember properties of radicals • If the entire fraction is under the radical, you can break it up.
# 9 – 11 • Rationalize the Denominator (Comes after dividing radicals in your notes)
#12 - 13 • What’s on the outsides gets multiplied together and stays on the outside. • What’s on the inside gets multiplied together and stays on the inside. • Simplify
#14 – 17 • Combine like radicands. • You may have to simplify first
#18 – 21 • What do you do when you multiply two binomials?!? • You can do the same thing to radicals!
