Quarter 2 – Module 4:
Deriving the Laws of Radicals
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Mathematics – Grade 9 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on

Deriving the Laws of Radicals!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming
their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the Mathematics – Grade 9 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on

Deriving the Laws of Radicals!

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner
is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to

Deriving the Laws of
1 Radicals
The laws of radicals are derived directly from the laws of exponents. The laws are
designed to make simplification much easier.

This module will provide you the knowledge about how to derive the laws of radicals.

2. What necessary understanding is needed to simplify the given expressions?
3. What are the bases for arriving at your conclusion?

 What is It

𝑛
An expression of the form √𝑎 denoting the principal n-th root of a. The positive
integer n is the index, or order, or the radical and the number a is the radicand. The
index is omitted if n = 2.

The laws of radicals are obtained directly from the laws of exponents by means of the
definition

𝑚
𝑛
√𝑎𝑚 = 𝑎 .
𝑛

To derive the law of radicals, follow the following steps:

1. Transform the radical into exponential form.
2. Factor the radicand if necessary.

Laws of Radical Examples Proof/Explanation

n is odd:

Note that this works when n is even

n is even: For when a is negative:
