1 RADICALS m 1

2 RADICALS Upo completio, you should be ble to defie the pricipl root of umbers simplify rdicls perform dditio, subtrctio, multiplictio, d divisio of rdicls Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB

3 Defiitio: th Root Suppose b. The we cll b th root of. Exmples: 8 - is the cube root of -8 4 d - re the squre roots of 4 Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB

4 Defiitio: Suppose b. NOTICE THAT WE ARE NOT YET USING HERE THE RADICAL SIGN th Root The we cll b th root of. Exmples: 8 - is the cube root of -8 4 d - re the squre roots of 4 Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 4

5 th Root Notice tht if is odd, the we oly hve oe th root. But if is eve, the we hve two th roots (the positive th root d the egtive th root). Exmple: d 4 Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 5

6 Defiitio: Pricipl th Root Let be positive eve iteger d > 0, To remove the mbiguity, we defie to be the positive root. We cll this the pricipl th root. Hece, 4 d ot. Also, is clled the rdicd is the idex of the rdicl. Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 6

7 Pricipl th Root FYI: Let be positive eve or odd iteger 0 0. Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 7

8 Pricipl th Root I summry, the rdicl sig deotes the pricipl th root of umber. Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 8

9 A rdicl or (irrtiol expressio) is lgebric expressio ivolvig o-itegrl rtiol expoets. It is of the form Exmples: Write s rdicl. 1. 1/ /4 b m m or 4 b RADICALS. 1/ 1/ x y 1/ 1/ x y x x y y Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 9

10 RADICALS Exmples: Write the followig rdicls i expoetil form. 1. xy z 1/ / 1/ x y z. 4 x x 6 y y 5 1/ /4 x y 1/ 5/6 x y Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 10

11 Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 11 DEFINITION: If m d re NOT both eve. RADICALS m m m m m m 1 1 They re equl.

12 Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 1 Exmples: If m d re NOT both eve. RADICALS 1 1 odd eve

13 Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 1 DEFINITION: If m d re both eve. RADICALS m m m m m m 1 1 Notice the differece if m is iside or outside the prethesis.

14 Exmples: If m d re both eve. RADICALS eve eve Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 14

15 Exmples: If m d re both eve. RADICALS 4 x x 4 x 1 x Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 15

16 RADICALS DEFINITION: Negtive Rtiol Expoet m 1 m Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 16

17 Properties of Rdicls Theorem: If d b re rel umbers, the 1/ 1/ 1/ 1. b ( b) b b. 1/ 1/ b b b 1/ b, b 0 (where both > 0 d b > 0 if is eve). Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 17

18 Properties of Rdicls Notice the cluse: where both > 0 d b > 0 if is eve. Becuse: FYI: sqrt(-1) is imgiry umber Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 18

19 Properties of Rdicls Exmples: Use the properties to fid the ff Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 19

20 Properties of Rdicls Theorem: m m Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 0

21 Simplifyig Rdicls A rdicl is simplified if the followig hold: 1. There is o power i the rdicd higher th or equl to the idex. Exmples: Simplify x 4 x 4 x x x y z x y y z z 4 4 x y z y z Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 1

22 Simplifyig Rdicls A rdicl is simplified if the followig hold:. The idex d the expoets i the rdicd must hve o commo fctor. Exmples: Simplify r s t 4 s 6 r t 4 s r t s r t Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB

23 Simplifyig Rdicls A rdicl is simplified if the followig hold:. There is o deomitor i the rdicd. Exmples: Simplify. 5. x y x y x y 15z 7 6 x y 15z 7 x z y 15z y Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB

24 Multiplyig Rdicls RECALL: b b Exmples: Fid these products d simplify x 70x Assume vribles re greter th zero.. 4x y 6x z 45x y z Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 4

25 Multiplyig Rdicls How do you multiply rdicls with differet idices? Exmples: Fid these products d simplify Assume vribles re greter th zero. 4. x y z Mthemtics Divisio, IMSP, UPLB 5
