I. KNOWLEDGE

Read each statement below carefully. Write TRUE on the blank if you think a statement it TRUE. Write
FALSE on the blank if you think the statement is FALSE. (1 pt. each)
________1. Given the expression √ x , there is only one real root for x.

________2. Every negative real number x has no real number that is the nth roots of x.

________3. Every positive even integer has two real square roots.

________4. An expression with a fractional exponent can be transformed into a radical expression and vice
versa.

________5. The radical expression √4 x 2 is already in its simplest form.

________6. If the denominator of a rational expression involving radicals contains a binomial radical
expression involving radicals contains a binomial expression, divide the numerator and the denominator by
the conjugate of the binomial.

________7. The laws of radicals are also used when simplifying radical expressions whose radicand is an
algebraic expression.

________8. The value of √3 √ 9 is equal to the value of √3 3.

________ 9. In the expression a n , the positive integral exponent a indicates the number of times that the base
n is used as a factor.
________ 10. A negative exponents signifies division.
________11. The expression ¿ √n x , where n is a positive integer , is read as “ y is equal to the nth root of x.”

________12. The first law of radicals states that the nth root of x n is positive if n is odd and x is any positive
real number.
________13. Simplifying a radical expression involves the process of reducing the index of the radical,
when possible.
________14. Simplifying radical expressions of indexn involves removing from the radicand all its factors
that are perfect n th power.
________15. For radical expressions whose radicand is a fraction and/ or whose radicands’ denominator has
no n th roots, it is necessary to multiply both the numerator and the denominator of the radicand by an
expression of the lowest power that will make the denominator or a perfect n th power.

2. In dealing with expressions with negative exponents, it is necessary to make the exponents positive by
performing allowable algebraic processes. In life, why is it always necessary to look at the positive side of
every problem or challenge? How does optimism help you overcome trials in life as a student?
