1. 6.2A- Operations for Fractions Adding & Subtracting – Create a COMMON DENOMINATOR – ADD or SUBTRACT 2 TOPS (Numerators) – KEEP the common denominator (bottom) Multiplying – MULTIPLY 2 tops (numerators) – MULTIPLY 2 bottoms (denominators)

2. Examples: Perform the Operations

3. 6.2A- Properties of Rational Exponents

4. Examples: Apply Properties & Simplify

5. Properties of Radicals for Simplification

6. Examples: Simplify

7. Writing the Simplest Form of a Radical Expression 1. Apply Property if Possible 2. Create Factor trees & bring values through the door when possible 3. Rationalize DENOMINATOR if RADICAL is left in bottom. – Multiply TOP & BOTTOM by missing nth root required to eliminate radical in denominator

8. Examples: Write in SIMPLEST Form
