Principle Square Root: if a is a nonnegative real number, the nonnegative number b such that denoted by. Radical Expression radicand radical sign Product Rule for Square Roots: Simplifying radicals: may be done using a variety of methods:

Quotient Rule for Square Roots: Adding and Subtracting Radicals: (“bases” must be the same): Combining radicals that require simplifying first:

Rationalizing the denominator: no radicals in denominator! Conjugates: a conjugate eliminates an “unwanted” term…
