Lesson 1
Simplifying Radicals
Examples:
1. You are taking the cube root of 27. 27 is the radicand and 3
3
is the index.
2. You are taking the 6th root of 64. 64 is the radicand and 6 is
the index.
Simplifying Radicals:
For any nonnegative real numbers x and y and positive integers m and n,

3. 7.
4. 3
Solutions:
1)
Write the radicand as a product of a perfect
square and factors that do not contain
perfect squares.
Extract the root of the perfect square factor
and affix the factor which is not a perfect
square.
4
Therefore, the simplest form of is .

7)
Write the radicand as a product of a perfect
squares. Both factors are perfect squares.

Let’s summarize
Expressions using the radical sign are called radical expressions. In
the expression , n is called the index, x is the radicand and is the radical
symbol. The index of the radical symbol is understood as 2 and is read as
square root.
A radicand is the number inside the radical sign or the number whose root
is being considered.
