NAME DATE 6-5 PERIOD Study Guide and Intervention Operations with Radical Expressions Simplify Radicals For any real numbers a and b, and any integer n > 1: n 1. if n is even and a and b are both nonnegative, then √ ab = n n n ab = √ a √ b. 2. if n is odd, then √ Product Property of Radicals n √ a n √ b. To simplify a square root, follow these steps: 1. Factor the radicand into as many squares as possible. 2. Use the Product Property to isolate the perfect squares. 3. Simplify each radical. For any real numbers a and b ≠ 0, and any integer n > 1, n √ a a − =− , if all roots are defined. n b √ b Quotient Property of Radicals √ n To eliminate radicals from a denominator or fractions from a radicand, multiply the numerator and denominator by a quantity so that the radicand has an exact root.

Two radical expressions are called like radical expressions if both the indices and the radicands are alike. To multiply radicals, use the Product and Quotient Properties. For products of the form (a √b + c √ d ) ․ (e √f + g √ h ), use the FOIL method. To rationalize denominators, use + c √ conjugates. Numbers of the form a √b d and a √ b - c √ d , where a, b, c, and d are rational numbers, are called conjugates. The product of conjugates is always a rational number.
