Squre Roots Opposite of squring number is tking the squre root of number. A number b is squre root of number if b =. In order to find squre root of, you need # tht, when squred, equls. Mrtin-Gy, Developmentl Mthemtics
Principl Squre Roots The principl (positive) squre root is noted s The negtive squre root is noted s Mrtin-Gy, Developmentl Mthemtics
Rdicnds Rdicl expression is n expression contining rdicl sign. Rdicnd is the expression under rdicl sign. Note tht if the rdicnd of squre root is negtive number, the rdicl is NOT rel number. Mrtin-Gy, Developmentl Mthemtics 4
Finding the n th root of number Finding the squre root of number involves finding number tht, when squred, equls the given number. b Some vocbulry involved with n th roots: In other words, finding such tht b =. n is the index of the expression. The index tells us wht mount of fctors we should look for in order to simplify quntity. Exmples: If n =, we re looking for some vlue r such tht r = s. If n = 4, we re looking for some vlue r such tht r 4 = s. n s This is clled rdicl symbol. s is clled the rdicnd of the rdicl expression. If the index n is even, then s must be positive. This is becuse there is no vlue of r such tht r = -s. Mrtin-Gy, Developmentl Mthemtics 5
nth Roots The nth root of is defined s n b only if If the index, n, is even, the root is NOT rel number when is negtive. If the index is odd, the root will be rel number. b n * Mrtin-Gy, Developmentl Mthemtics 6

Perfect Squres Squre roots of perfect squre rdicnds simplify to rtionl numbers (numbers tht cn be written s quotient of integers). Squre roots of numbers tht re not perfect squres (like 7, 10, etc.) re irrtionl numbers. IF REQUESTED, you cn find deciml pproximtion for these irrtionl numbers. Otherwise, leve them in rdicl form. Mrtin-Gy, Developmentl Mthemtics 8
Perfect Squre Roots Rdicnds might lso contin vribles nd powers of vribles. To void negtive rdicnds, ssume for this chpter tht if vrible ppers in the rdicnd, it represents positive numbers only. Exmple 10 64x 5 8x Mrtin-Gy, Developmentl Mthemtics 9

Like Rdicls In previous chpters, we ve discussed the concept of like terms. These re terms with the sme vribles rised to the sme powers. They cn be combined through ddition nd subtrction. Similrly, we cn work with the concept of like rdicls to combine rdicls with the sme rdicnd. Like rdicls re rdicls with the sme index nd the sme rdicnd. Like rdicls cn lso be combined with ddition or subtrction by using the distributive property. Mrtin-Gy, Developmentl Mthemtics

Rtionlizing the Denomintor Mny times it is helpful to rewrite rdicl quotient with the rdicl confined to ONLY the numertor. If we rewrite the expression so tht there is no rdicl in the denomintor, it is clled rtionlizing the denomintor. This process involves multiplying the quotient by form of 1 tht will eliminte the rdicl in the denomintor. Mrtin-Gy, Developmentl Mthemtics 0
Rtionlizing the Denomintor Exmple Rtionlize the denomintor. 6 6 9 6 9 6 7 6 Mrtin-Gy, Developmentl Mthemtics 1
Conjugtes Mny rtionl quotients hve sum or difference of terms in denomintor, rther thn single rdicl. In tht cse, we need to multiply by the conjugte of the numertor or denomintor (which ever one we re rtionlizing). The conjugte uses the sme terms, but the opposite opertion (+ or ).

15.5 Solving Equtions Contining Rdicls
Extrneous Solutions Power Rule (text only tlks bout squring, but pplies to other powers, s well). If both sides of n eqution re rised to the sme power, solutions of the new eqution contin ll the solutions of the originl eqution, but might lso contin dditionl solutions. A proposed solution of the new eqution tht is NOT solution of the originl eqution is n extrneous solution. Mrtin-Gy, Developmentl Mthemtics 5

Solving Rdicl Equtions Steps for Solving Rdicl Equtions 1) Isolte one rdicl on one side of equl sign. ) Rise ech side of the eqution to power equl to the index of the isolted rdicl, nd simplify. (With squre roots, the index is, so squre both sides.) ) If eqution still contins rdicl, repet steps 1 nd. If not, solve eqution. 4) Check proposed solutions in the originl eqution.
