  1. 10.4 Adding and Subtracting Radical Expressions

  2. Objective 1 Simplify radical expressions involving addition and subtraction. Slide 10.4- 2

  3. Only radical expressions with the same index and the same radicand may be combined. Expressions such as or cannot be simplified by combining terms. Simplify radical expressions involving addition and subtraction. Slide 10.4- 3

  4. CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 1 Adding and Subtracting Radicals Solution: Add or subtract to simplify each radical expression. Slide 10.4- 4

  5. CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 1 Adding and Subtracting Radicals (cont’d) Solution: Add or subtract to simplify each radical expression. This expression can not be simplified any further. Slide 10.4- 5

  6. Do not confuse the product rule with combining like terms. The root of a sum does not equal the sum of the roots. For example since Simplify radical expressions involving addition and subtraction. Slide 10.4- 6

  7. CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 2 Adding and Subtracting Radicals with Higher Indexes Add or subtract to simplify the radical expression. Assume that all variables represent positive real numbers. Solution: Slide 10.4- 7

  8. CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 2 Adding and Subtracting Radicals with Higher Indexes (cont’d) Add or subtract to simplify the radical expression. Assume that all variables represent positive real numbers. Solution: Slide 10.4- 8

  9. CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 2 Adding and Subtracting Radicals with Higher Indexes (cont’d) Add or subtract to simplify the radical expression. Assume that all variables represent positive real numbers. Solution: Slide 10.4- 9
