Motivation
 How do we find the value of an expression when it is under a
radical sign?

Activity 1 Individual Activity

Try to simplify the given expressions by simply basing on the given
example.
Examples:
√3 54 = √3 (27)(2) = √3 27 √3 2 = √3 33 √3 2 = 3 √3 2

Analysis How do you think the given expressions were simplified?

What processes have you observed?
 How do we simplify radicals with the same index?
 How do we simplify expressions with radicals in the
denominator?
 What important understanding is necessary to simplify the
given expression?
Abstraction Laws on radicals
a. ¿ = a
Examples: ¿ = 4 √ 64 = √ 82 = 8
 b. √n ab = √n a √n b
Examples: √ 50 = √ 25 x √ 2 = 5 √ 2

√3 −32 x 5 = √3 −23 x 3 x √3 22 x 2 = -2x√3 4 x 2

√ √ 27 = √ √ 3 3

Simplifying Radicals:
a. Removing Perfect nth Powers
Break down the radicand into perfect and nonperfect nth powers
and apply the property √n ab = √n a √n b.
Example:
√ 8 x5 y 6 z13 = √ 22 ( x¿ ¿2)2 ( y ¿¿ 3)2( z¿¿ 6)2 ¿ ¿ ¿ x √ 2 xz =
2 x2 y 3 z 6 √ 2 xz Type equation here .

b. Reducing the index to the lowest possible order

Express the radical into an expression with a rational
exponent then simplify the exponent or apply the property
m n
√ √ a = mn√ a = √n m√ a .
Example:
√32 m15 n5 = 4 √5 25(m¿ ¿3)5 n5 ¿ = √4 2 m3 n

c. Rationalizing the denominator of the radicand
Rationalization is the process of removing the radical sign in
the denominator.
Example:

3 6k

√ 6 k 2 √3 6 k 2

= 3 3= 3 3 3=
2 k √
√2 k 2 k
The simplified form of a radical expression would
require;
No prime factor of a radicand that has an exponent equal to or
greater than the index.
No radicand contains a fraction.
No denominator contains a radical sign.
