Radical Sign (square root sign) Radicand Numbers or variables under the radical sign
Radicals are in SIMPLEST FORM when.. • 1. No perfect square factors other than 1 are under the radical. • No fractions are under the radical. • No radicals are in the denominator.
EX:1 Simplify. When you have a pair, bring the number out.
EX:2 Simplify When you have a pair, bring the number out.
Variables as Radicands Even Exponent – ODD Exponent – Take HALF out (nothing left under the radical) Leave ONE under the radical and take HALF of the rest out
