Question

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Give 3 or 4 examples of simplifying Radicals. Explain and show work.

Also what does simplifying radicals mean?

Answer 1

Any help? :)

Answer 2

i think it be best if u give the examples and we help u solve them....

Answer 3

Ok

Answer 4

I don't have any examples, I need to give at least 3 examples and solve them. It can be any examples you can think of

Answer 5

simplifying radicals means that the radicand does not have any perfect squares as one of its factors.

Answer 6

ok.... i'll give you one example....
simplify: \(\Large \sqrt{56} \)
\(\Large \sqrt{56}=\sqrt{4\cdot14}=\sqrt{4}\cdot \sqrt{14}=2\sqrt{14} \)

Answer 7

in this example, since 4 is a perfect square number and is a factor of the radicand, it can be pulled out of the radical symbol... now the simplified form does not have a perfect square as a factor in the radicand.

Answer 8

Ok thanks . Any more examples it does have ti be long and hard it can be simple and easy

Answer 9

What is a radicand?

Answer 10

the radicand is the number INSIDE the radical symbol...
so in my example, 56 is the radicand

Answer 11

Do you have another example?

Answer 12

why don't u give me any number and we'll simplify the square root (or any root of) of that number....

Answer 13

Okay how about the square root of 3?

Answer 14

ok... \(\Large \sqrt3 \)
the radicand is 3... since 3 is already prime (it's factors are 1 and itself), \(\sqrt3 \) is already in it's simplified form

Answer 15

\(\Large \sqrt3 + \sqrt2 \) is also already written in simplified form...
if you want an APPROXIMATE value for this sum, use a calculator.

Answer 16

Can you simplify the square root of 28? And the square root of 132
