Simplifying radical expressions containing variables • Simplify numerical part of expression as normal. • Split variables with odd powers into products of even powers* power of 1. • Even powers have a square root of the exponent divided by 2.
Try some! • √25x2 • √121a2b2 • √40x3y4 • √50a3b5 • √200xy2z3 • √24c3d2e • √60r3s2t4
Exit Slip • In a triangle with sides a = 8, c = 15, find side b. • 4√15(√6 + √5 )
