2 5.6 - Reteach Radical Epressios ad Ratioal Epoets (cotiued) The th root of a uber ca be represeted usig a ratioal, or fractioal, epoet: a a. Eaples: This eas to take the th root of a. Powers ad roots ca be epressed usig ratioal epoets a a. Eaples: To write epressios usig ratioal epoets, use the defiitios. The deoiator is the root ad the uerator is the power. a a ad a a Eaples: Note that a a. Thik: The root is. The power is. Write each epressio i radical for ad siplify Write each epressio by usig ratioal epoets Thik:, Siplify each epressio Origial cotet Copyright by Holt McDougal.

3 5-7 Reteach Radical Fuctios The square root fuctio, f The doai of f is { 0}. The rage is {y y 0}., is a radical fuctio. You ca ake a table of values to graph a radical fuctio. Graph: f Note that ad y have oly oegative values. f (, f()) f 0 0, 0) f, ) f (, ) 6 f (6, ) First choose the value of that akes f() 0. First choose the value of that akes perfect squares. The doai is { }. The rage is {y y 0}. Graph the fuctio. Idetify its doai ad rage.. f f (, f()) Doai: Rage: Origial cotet Copyright by Holt McDougal.

4 5-7 Reteach Radical Fuctios (cotiued) Trasforatios of the square root fuctio, f(), are siilar to trasforatios of other fuctios. Trasforatios Vertical Traslatios y k Shifts f() up k uits for k 0 Shifts f() dow k uits for k 0 k, so g( ) shifts f() uit dow. Horizotal Traslatios y h Shifts f() right h uits for h 0 Shifts f() left h uits for h 0 h, so ( ) shifts f() uits left. Reflectios y reflects f() across -ais y reflects f() across y-ais r( ) reflects f() across the y-ais. Usig the graph of f ( ) as a guide, describe the trasforatio ad graph each fuctio.. s( ). p( ) k : Origial cotet Copyright by Holt McDougal.

5 5-8: Reteach Solvig Radical Equatios ad Iequalities Solve radical equatios by raisig both sides of the equatio to the power of the ide of the radical. For eaple, the ide of a is. Therefore, 9 Solve: 8 Step Step Step Step 5 Isolate the radical. Divide both sides of the equatio by ad siplify. 8 6 Square both sides of the equatio ad siplify. 6 Solve. 8 6 Check Solve each equatio. Check your aswer The ide of is. Raise both sides to the power of. Reeber: a a. Always check for etraeous solutios whe solvig radical equatios. Origial cotet Copyright by Holt McDougal.

6 5-8: Reteach Solvig Radical Equatios ad Iequalities (cotiued) Solvig equatios with ratioal epoets is siilar to solvig radical equatios. Solve: 0 Step Step Step Step Step 5 Step 6. Raise both sides to the reciprocal power. 0 Square both sides. 0 Write the quadratic equatio i stadard for. 0 0 Factor. ( ) ( 5) 0 Solve. ( ) 0 or ( 5) 0 5 Check for etraeous solutios. 0 5? 0 5?
