10.1 Radical Expressions and Graphs
• is the positive square root of a, andis the negative square root of a because
• If a is a positive number that is not a perfect square then the square root of a is irrational.
• If a is a negative number then square root of a is not a real number.
• For any real number a:

10.3 Simplifying Radical Expressions
• Review: Expressions vs. Equations:– Expressions
1. No equal sign
2. Simplify (don’t solve)
3. Cancel factors of the entire top and bottom of a fraction
– Equations1. Equal sign
2. Solve (don’t simplify)
3. Get variable by itself on one side of the equation by multiplying/adding the same thing on both sides

10.3 Simplifying Radical Expressions
• Simplified Form of a Radical:1. All radicals that can be reduced are reduced:
2. There are no fractions under the radical.3. There are no radicals in the denominator4. Exponents under the radical have no common
factor with the index of the radical

10.3 Simplifying Radical Expressions
• Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, with the hypotenuse of length c and legs of lengths a and b, it follows that c2 = a2 + b2

10.4 Adding and Subtracting Radical Expressions
• We can add or subtract radicals using the distributive property.
• Example:

10.4 Adding and Subtracting Radical Expressions
• Like Radicals (similar to “like terms”) are terms that have multiples of the same root of the same number. Only like radicals can be combined.

10.6 Solving Equations with Radicals
• Squaring property of equality: If both sides of an equation are squared, the original solution(s) of the equation still work – plus you may add some new solutions.
• Example:
5)- and (5 solutions twohas 25
(5)solution one has 52

10.6 Solving Equations with Radicals
• Solving an equation with radicals:1. Isolate the radical (or at least one of the radicals if
there are more than one).
2. Square both sides
3. Combine like terms
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until no radicals are remaining
5. Solve the equation
6. Check all solutions with the original equation (some may not work)

10.6 Solving Equations with Radicals
• Example:Add 1 to both sides:
Square both sides:
Subtract 3x + 7:
So x = -2 and x = 3, but only x = 3 makes the original equation equal.
