2 Objective Students will add, subtract, multiply, divide, and simplify radicals.

3 Warm-up Define what a perfect square is using your own words. List all of the perfect squares that you can remember off the top of your head.

4 Simplifying Radicals Simplifying radicals is like creating factor trees, but we are looking for perfect square factors. Example: Are there any perfect squares that are factors of 8? What are they? x

5 Let’s try these together:

6 Answers to Simplifying Radicals - Question A

7 Answers to Simplifying Radicals Question B

8 Answers to Simplifying Radicals Question C 3+0+6 = 9, 306 is divisible by 9 too!

9 Answers to Simplifying Radicals Question D 32

10 Adding and Subtracting with Radicals Adding and subtracting with radicals is a lot like combining like terms. You can only add or subtract “like” radicals. Example: “Like” radicals: Add the coefficients! Final answer!

11 Try these on your own!

12 Question A Add/Subtract Since each term contains radical 2, just combine the coefficients!

13 Question B Add/Subtract “like” radicals

14 Question C Add/Subtract Simplify radicals that you can simplify. Combine “like” radicals.

15 Multiplying with Radicals When multiplying a radical by a radical: –multiply the coefficients –multiply the radicals –then simplify the radical if possible. Example: Final Answer? What property?

16 Try these :

17 Question A Multiplication Multiply Simplify Final Answer

18 Question B Multiplication Method 1 Method 2

19 Question C Multiplication Distributive Property Multiply and Simplify

20 Question D Multiplication Which answer did you choose?

21 Dividing with Radicals

22 Let’s kick it up a notch… Simplify using radicals.

23 Question A - Division Simplify the radical. Take the square roots of perfect squares. Divide by 5. This is your final answer!

24 Question B - Division Choice #1 = 1.08 Choice #2 = Choice #3 =

25 Question C - Division Simplify each radical. Take square roots. Simplify as a fraction (if possible).

26 Question D - Division
