 Let Us Study

Lesson 1. Simplifying Radical Expressions

You learned from the previous lesson how Laws of Radicals were derived. In
this lesson you will learn how to apply those laws in simplifying radicals.

𝑛
From the previous lesson, Radical is an expression of the form √𝑎 denoting
the principal nth root of a. The positive integer n is the index, or order, of the radical
and the number a is the radicand. The index is omitted if n = 2.

The laws for radicals are obtained directly from the laws for exponents by
𝒎
𝒏
means of the definition √𝒂𝒎 = 𝒂 𝒏 .

LAWS OF RADICALS

➢ If n is even, assume a, b ≥ 0.
𝑛
1. ( √𝑎)𝑛 = a
𝑛 𝑛 𝑛
2. √𝑎𝑏 = √𝑎 √𝑏 The Product Rule for Radicals
𝑛
𝑎 √𝑎
3. √𝑏 = 𝑛 The Quotient Rule for Radicals
√𝑏

𝑛 𝑛
4. √𝑎𝑚 = ( √𝑎)𝑚
𝑚 𝑛
5. √ √𝑎 = 𝑚𝑛√𝑎

To simplify radicals, it is important to reduce the radical to its simplest form

through use of the following operations:

1. Removal of perfect nth powers from a radicand. Any radical of order n

should be simplified by removing all perfect nth powers from under the radical
𝒏 𝒏 𝒏
sign using the rule: √𝒂𝒃 = √𝒂 √𝒃.

Example.
a. 3𝑥√8𝑥 3 𝑦13
Write the radicand as a factor of a
= 3𝑥√(4𝑥 2 𝑦12 )(2𝑥𝑦)
perfect square and 2xy.

= 3𝑥√4𝑥 2 𝑦12 • √2𝑥𝑦 Use the Product Property of Square Roots.

= 3𝑥 • 2𝑥𝑦 6 √2𝑥𝑦 Simplify

= 6𝑥 2 𝑦 6 √2𝑥𝑦

Therefore, the simplest form of 3𝑥√8𝑥 3 𝑦13 is 𝟔𝒙𝟐 𝒚𝟔 √𝟐𝒙𝒚.

b. √32 = √8 · 4 = √23 · 4 = 2√4

c. √16𝑥 4 𝑦 7 = √(4𝑥 2 𝑥𝑦 3 )2 𝑦 = 4𝑥 2 𝑦 3 √𝑦

2. Reduction of the index of the radical.

In the first example, the index
Examples. which was the denominator in the
fractional exponent, was reduced
4 4 6⁄ 3⁄ from 4 to 2 and in the second example
a. √64 = √26 = 2 4 = 2 2 = √23 = √8
it was reduced from 6 to 3. You also
note that the process involves
6 6 2
b. √16𝑥 6 = √(4𝑥 3 )2 = (4𝑥 3 ) ⁄6 converting to exponential notation
1 3 3 and then converting back.
= (4𝑥 3 ) ⁄3 = √4𝑥 3 = 𝑥 √4

3. Rationalization of the denominator. Fractions may be removed from under

a radical sign by rationalizing the denominator. To rationalize the
denominator of a radical of order n, multiply the numerator and denominator
of the radicand by such a quantity as will make the denominator a perfect nth
power and then remove the denominator from under the radical sign.

Examples:

√5 Not simplified because there is a radical

a. Simplify:

c. √ = √ ∙ = √ =

A radical is said to be in simplest form if:

• all perfect nth powers have been removed from the radical
• the index of the radical is as small as possible
• no fractions are present in the radicand i.e. the denominator has been
rationalized.

Lesson 2: Operations on Radical Expressions

 Adding and Subtracting Radical Expressions

Note: To add or subtract radical expressions, see to it that given radical expressions
are similar radical expressions. You can only add or subtract similar radicals (radicals
with the same index and radicand). To add or subtract, add or subtract the coefficients
first then affix the common radical. And, to add or subtract dissimilar radicals you
need to simplify first the expression before adding or subtracting. Answer must be in
its simplest form.

Step 1: Simplify each radical.

Step 2: To add or subtract radicals, the indices and what is inside the radical (called
the radicand) must be exactly the same. If the indices and radicands are the
same, then add or subtract the terms in front of each like radical. If the indices
or radicands are not the same, then you cannot add or subtract the radicals.

Example 1. Simplify: 5√5 + 12√5 - 8√5

Note: In multiplying radical expressions, there are some things to remember:

1. There should be no factor in the radicand that has a power greater

than or equal to the index.
2. There should be no fractions in the denominator under the radical
sign.
3. There should be no radicals in the denominator.

In multiplying radicals, these are the procedures to be considered:

𝑛
a. When indices are the same. Multiply radicals and apply √𝑥 ⋅ 𝑛√𝑦 = 𝑛√𝑥𝑦
Simplify the resulting radicand when necessary.

11
 b. When indices are different but radicands are the same. Apply the following
steps:
1. Transform the radical to fractional exponents.
2. Multiply the powers by applying: 𝑥 𝑚 𝑥 𝑛 = 𝑥 𝑚+𝑛 (Law of Exponents)
3. Rewrite the product as a single radical
4. Simplify the resulting radicand if necessary.
c. When indices and radicands are different. Do the following steps:
1. Transform the radicals to powers with fractional exponents.
2. Change the fractional exponents into a similar fractions.
3. Rewrite the product as a single radical.
4. Simplify the resulting radicand if necessary.

Example 1. √24𝑥 • √3𝑥𝑦

Step 1. Check if the indices of the radicals =√24𝑥 •√3𝑥𝑦
are the same. If yes, then directly multiply
= √72𝑥 2 𝑦
the radicands.
Step 2. Factor the product inside with a = √(9𝑥 2 )(8𝑦)
perfect square terms and extract to = 3𝑥√8𝑦
simplify. The answer is 𝟑𝒙√𝟖𝒚.

Example 2. Multiply 4√6 and 5√24.

Step 1. Check if the indices of the radicals = (4)(5)√(6)(24)
are the same. If the radicals have the same = 20√(144)
index, multiply terms the outside the
= (20)(12)
radical with terms outside the radical and
= 240
terms inside the radical with terms inside
the radical.
The answer is 240.
Step 2. Simplify the radicals.

Example 3. Multiply 3√12𝑥 •√8𝑥 3 𝑦

Step 1. Check if the indices of the radicals = 3√(12)(8)(𝑥)(𝑥 3 )
are the same. If the radicals have the same = 3√96𝑥 4
index, multiply terms the outside the
radical with terms outside the radical and = 3√(16)(6)𝑥 4
terms inside the radical with terms inside = (3)(4)(𝑥 2 )√6
the radical. = 12𝑥 2 √6
Step 2. Factor and simplify the radicals.
𝑥 2 is taken out from √(𝑥)(𝑥 3 ) = √(𝑥 4 ) = 𝑥 2
The answer is 𝟏𝟐𝒙𝟐 √𝟔.

Example 4. Multiply 𝑥√5 and 𝑦√7.

= 𝑥 ⋅ 𝑦√5 ⋅ 7
Solution: = 𝑥𝑦√35
The answer is 𝒙𝒚√𝟑𝟓.

The answer is √25000

Example 8. Multiply (√3 + √2)(3√2 − 4√3) and simplify:

Step 1. Check if the radicals = (√3)(3√2) + (√3)(−4√3) + (√2)(3√2) + (√2)(−4√3)

have the same index. If yes, = (3√6) + (−4√9) + (3√4) + (−4√6)
then multiply using the
Distributive property of

 multiplying itself, then solve = (5√2)(5√2) + (5√2)(2√3) + (2√3)(5√2) +
using the FOIL method. (2√3)(2√3)
Step 2. Combine like radicals
= 25√4 + 10√6 + 10√6 + 4√9
and simplify.
= (25)(2) + 10√6 + 10√6 + (4)(3)
= 50 + 20√6 + 12
= 62 + 20√6
The answer is 62 + 20√6.

Division of Radical Expression

When you are multiplying radicals together, you can combine the two into
one radical expression. There is a similar rule for dividing two radical expressions.
If you have one square root divided by another square root, you can combine them
together with division inside one square root. Let us first recall some topics that will
needed in dividing radical expressions.

• Like radicals or similar radicals are radicals of the same order(index) and
having the same radicand.
• Only like/similar radicals can be added or subtracted.
• Add/subtract the coefficients then copy the common radical.
• In multiplying radicals, apply the different laws of radical and the different
properties of multiplication like distributive property and special products
of polynomials.
• Rationalizing the denominator is necessary to simplify radical expression.
Make sure that the denominator is not in radical form.
