Lesson 2 – Add/Subtract Radicals
(restricted to square roots only)
Today’s Objective
• MGSE9-12.N.RN.2 Rewrite expressions involving
radicals (restricted to square roots only)
• MGSE9-12.N.RN.3 Explain why the sum or product of
rational numbers is rational; why the sum of a
rational number and an irrational number is
irrational; and why the product of a nonzero rational
number and an irrational number is irrational.
• Objective: Students will Add, Subtract and
Simplify radical expressions
Essential Questions
• If you add two radicals will you always get
another radical?
• If you add two irrationals numbers will you get
another irrational number?
• How do you simplify a radical expression?

There are a list of numbers below. Sort the
numbers in order from least to greatest and
explain your thought process.
Sums and Differences
Rules in the previous section allowed us to
split radicals that had a radicand which was a
product or a quotient.
We can NOT split sums or differences.
ab  a  b
a b  a  b
When ADDING and SUBTRACTING Square
Roots…..it is very similar to ADDING
and SUBTACTING
LIKE TERMS.
Just as you ADD the LIKE TERM of X….
5x  4 x  9 x
COEFFICIENTS
You ADD the LIKE TERM of
5 34 3 9 3

ONLY ADD or
SUBTRACT
Terms that have the
SAME Square ROOT!
Check for LIKE TERMS

Once you Combine
Like Terms,
You place the new
Coefficient in front of
The Square Root.

Adding and Subtracting Square-Root Expressions
Add or subtract.
A.
The terms are like radicals.
B.
The terms are unlike radicals. Do not
combine.

Sometimes radicals do not appear to be like
until they are simplified, Simplify all radicals
in an expression before trying to identify like
radicals.
