10 Step1: Step2: This radicand (24) is not a perfect square Therefore – find the perfect square! Start by factoring the radicand into a perfect square times a number What are the factors of 24? 07/27/12lntaylor © TOC Step3:Hint: Only one combination includes a perfect square Rewrite the problem with 2 radicals Step4:Simplify (reduce) the radical containing the perfect square Leave the other alone Step5:This is your final answer 24 24 =2(12) 3(8) 4(6)

12 Step1: Step2: This radicand (28) is not a perfect square Therefore – find the perfect square! Start by factoring the radicand into a perfect square times a number What are the factors of 28? 07/27/12lntaylor © TOC Step3:Hint: Only one combination includes a perfect square Rewrite the problem with 2 radicals Step4:Simplify (reduce) the radical containing the perfect square Leave the other alone Step5:This is your final answer 28 28 =2(14) 3(not a whole number) 4(7)

14 Step1: Step2: This radicand is not a perfect square Therefore – find the perfect square! Start by factoring the radicand into a perfect square times a number What are the factors of the radicand? 07/27/12lntaylor © TOC Step3:Hint: make sure you factor out all perfect squares! Rewrite the problem with 3 radicals Step4:Simplify (reduce) any radicals containing the perfect squares Leave the other alone Step5:This is your final answer 72 72 =9(8) 9(4)(2)

18 Step1: Step2: This radicand is not a perfect square Therefore – find the perfect square! Start by factoring the radicand into a perfect square times a number What are the factors of the radicand? 07/27/12lntaylor © TOC Step3:Hint: make sure you factor out all perfect squares! Rewrite the problem with radicals Step4:Simplify (reduce) any radicals containing the perfect squares Leave the other alone Step5:This is your final answer 160 160 =16(10)

19 07/27/12lntaylor © TOC Radical Expressions Step1:To simplify radical expressions you must first understand exponents Step2:Only then will you understand the radical expressions Step3:Memorize the following charts (square root exponents)

20 07/27/12lntaylor © TOC Square RootsEquivalents > 2x > > > > > > > 2xy > > > note Do you see that the square root of an even exponent is half the exponent; the square root of an odd exponent puts half the exponent outside the radical and leaves an exponent of 1 under the radical? clear answers

21 07/27/12lntaylor © TOC Radical Expressions Note:If you understood the preceding chart then you are ready to go on!

30 07/27/12lntaylor © TOC Estimating Radicals

31 Step1: Step2: Estimating a radical is not difficult First figure out which two perfect squares it lies between Factor the perfect squares onto a number line 07/27/12lntaylor © TOC Step3:Find the range between the perfect square radicands(64 – 49) This becomes the denominator Subtract the middle radicand (60) from the lower radicand (49) This becomes the numerator Estimate the decimal equivalent of the fraction Step4: 7 8 64 – 49 = 15 __ 15 60 – 49 = 11 11 ≈ 0.75 7.75
