Radicals

Treat radicals like you would a variable (like x). Only like radicals can be added or subtracted.

 

Example

 

Rules for addition Subtraction

1. simplify radical to simplest terms

2. Combine like radicals and reduce

 

Multiplying radicals by a binomial

Again, treat the radical like a variable and multiple each term by the multiplier

 

Example

 

FOIL and Radicals

Take each term in the first bracket and multiply it by each term in the 2nd.

 

Example

 

Radical as denominators

A radical should never be left as a denominator in a fraction. Multiple the fraction by a radical to eliminate the fraction.

 

Example

Notice that if the denominator is a binomial we have to multiple by its conjugate (we keep the values the same, but change the sign in -between the terms). The product of two conjugates is always a rational number.

Steps:

1. multiple the radical by a conjugate

2. reduce
