  1. 6.3 Computing with Radicals Algebra II Mrs. Spitz Spring 2007

  2. Objective • Add, subtract, multiply and divide radical expressions.

  3. Assignment • Pp. 266-267 #5-52 every 3rd problem. If you need more practice, do every problem. • You will have a quiz on Friday, so you need to review over these on Thursday.

  4. a2 + b2 = c212 + 12 = c22 = c The geometric dot paper at the bottom right shows the construction of a segment that is 2 units long. Estimate the sum of the two lengths based on your estimate, do you think 2 + 2 = 2+2 or 2? As you have just observed, a + b = a + b just like a2 + b2≠ (a + b)2. Adding radicals is like adding other monomials. You wouldn’t say x2 + x2 = (x + x)2. you know that x2 + x2 = 2x2 because you add like terms. So you must add like terms with radicals also. Two radical expressions are calledLIKE RADICAL EXPRESSIONS. 1 1

  5. Some examples of like and unlike radical expressions are given below. To add or subtract radicals, just combine like terms as you do when you add or subtract other monomials.
