Prentice Hall Lesson 11.1How do you simplify a radical expression? What is the multiplication property of square roots? Toolbox: Radical expressions contain a radical Multiplication Property of Square Roots: For every number a ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0, √a•b = √a • √b To simplify radical expressions, rewrite the radicand as a product of perfect-square factors and the remaining factors. Simplify by taking the square root of the perfect-square factors, leaving the remaining factors as the radicand.
You may use the product of radicals to find perfect-square factors needed to simplify radical expressions. • Division Property of Square Roots: • For every number a ≥ 0 and b > 0, • √ = √a • √b • When the denominator of the radicand is a perfect square, it is easier to simplify the numerator and denominator separately. • When the denominator of the radicand is not a perfect square, divide first, then simplify.
When the radicand in the denominator is not a perfect square, you may need to rationalize the denominator. Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same radical expression, making the denominator a perfect square. • A radical expression is in simplest radical form when all three statements are true: • The radicand has no perfect-square factors other than 1. • The radicand has no fractions. • The denominator of a fraction has no radical.
