4. Radical Expressions

5. Simplifying Perfect Root Radical Expressions:
1. Write the radicand as an exponent with a
power that is the same as the index of the radical expression. Use exponent properties.

21. Objectives Day 5-6: To identify like radical expressions.
To identify radical conjugates.
To add and subtract radical expressions.

22. Like Radicals: Are radical expressions that have the same index and the same radicand.
Radical Conjugates: Are binomial (two terms) expressions, whose first terms are the same and their second terms are opposites.

23. To add or subtract the radical expressions:
1. Make sure each term is in simplest radical form.
2. The radicand and index of the radical expressions must be the same.
3. Add/Subtract the coefficients of the like radical expressions.
