RadicalsProducts & Quotients of Radicals (section 7.5) Target Goals: Simplify radical expressions using multiplication & division Rationalize the denominator of a fraction containing a radical expression
SIMPLIFYING RADICAL EXPRESSIONS • A radical expression is in simplified form when the following conditions are met: • The index is as small as possible. *** • The radicand contains no factors (other than 1) that are the nth powers of an integer or polynomial. • The radicand contains no fractions. • No radicals appear in the denominator.
EXIT SLIP: Simplify each of the following: • 1) • 2) • 3)
Directions • You will be presented with a problem to work on individually. • Try to not use your notes. • If you get the question correct, that will correspond to a homework problem that you will NOT be required to do. • Keep track of the homework problems you are NOT required to do.
