Day 3: Review and Homework

NOTE: Test Friday



Chapter 5 part 2:

5.5 Roots of Real Numbers
Vocab
  • square root
  • nth root
  • principal root
5.6 Radical Expressions
Vocab
  • rationalizing the denominator
  • like radical expressions
  • conjugates
RECALL:

Steps to simplify a square root.
  1. Factor the radicand into as many squares as possible.
  2. Use the product property to isolate the perfect squares.
  3. Simplify each radical
To eliminate radicals from a denominator or fractions from a radicand, you can use a process called rationalizing the denominator. To rationalize a denominator, multiply the numerator and denominator by a quantity so that the radicand has an exact root.
