Joke of the Day What did the surfer Say when he saw the square root of two? Radical, Dude!
EOCT QUESTION 3 3. Which angle forms a linear pair with QPR? A RPTCUPT B SPT DSPR
True or False • 4.5…. Is Rational • 8 is a perfect square • √10 is already simplified • √32 = 4√2 • 4/5 is Rational • √20 is between 16 and 25
Recall “Big, Fat, Mammas”
Radical in the denominator • Is this radical expression simplified? • How could I simplify it?
Dividing Radical Expressions Rationalizing the denominator If the denominator has a SQUARE ROOT of a non-perfect Square =multiply the square root to the numerator AND Denominator Example: What really happens?
Question of the day What is √x² really asking? What do you think the answer is?
Simplifying with even exponents EVEN exponent The even duckling gets out of jail! • Divide Exponent by 2 • That number is the exponent on the OUTSIDE of the square root Example: 4 ÷ 2 =2 Answer: x²
Simplifying with odd exponents • ODD exponent The odd duckling gets left in jail! • Subtract 1 • Divide Exponent by 2 • Variable on outside has exponent of answer • Leave ONE variable INSIDE square root • Example: • 7-1=6 • 6 ÷ 2 = 3 • Answer:
Why Do we have these Rules? EVEN Exponent ODD Exponent
