BE CAREFUL
when it comes to negatives and exponents!
The expression -32 means the opposite of 32. The exponent 2 applies to the base 3. The negative sign is
not part of the base. In the expression (-3)2, the negative sign is part of the base -3. The exponent 2
applies to the base -3.
Use the order of operations to simplify each expression.

Square Roots
THINK! If
Squaring and Square Rooting are INVERSE OPERATIONS. They undo one another.
102 = 100 then
100 = 10
Square Root of a Number: If b2 = a, then b is a square root of a
Radical Symbol:
16
 16
Radicand: The number inside the radical symbol
The (positive) square root of 16.
It is known as the principal square root.

The negative square root of 16.
 16 This is read
“plus or minus the square root of 16”.
Special Cases:
0 Zero has only one square root.
16 Negative numbers have
NO REAL SQUARE ROOTS.
A number times itself will NEVER be negative!
A radical expression is in simplest form when:
No factor of the expression inside the radical sign has any perfect square factor other than 1.
There are no fractions under the radical sign, and no radical sign in the denominator of any fraction.
Quotient Property
Use the Quotient Property to simplify.

Approximate the value of a non-perfect square root:
Steps:
1)
Find the two closest perfect squares (greater than and less than)
2)
See where your number fits in
3)
Make a decimal approximation (nearest tenth)

9. Compare 50 and 60
and make comparative statements.
11. Order the numbers from least to greatest:
10. Compare using <, >, or =.
HINTS! *change all to decimals
*use a number line
Simplifying Square Roots:
An expression is in simplest form when:
No factor of the expression inside the radical sign has any perfect square factor other than 1.
There are no fractions under the radical sign, and no radical sign in the denominator of any fraction.
Product Property
Quotient Property
* EASY METHOD FOR SIMPLIFYING SQUARE ROOTS:
Factor the radicand completely and pull
out pairs. Leave “singles” in the radical.
