Priming
1. Have you ever wondered about how to
identify the side lengths of a square lot
if you know its area?
2. Have you tried solving for the length of
any side of a right triangle?
3. Has it come to your mind how you can
find the radius of a cylindrical water
tank given its volume?
Recall: Laws of Exponents

a− = a
Drill Simplify using laws of exponents
1) 3x0 =3
2) ( - 3x ) 0 =1
3) ( 3x 3m y 2n ) 3 = 27x 9m y
6n
4) ( 2x y z -3 ) ( - 4x 3y
z 5) = - 8x 4y z 2
5)
(2m ½)( - 3m 2/3 ) = - 6m 7/6

In the previous lesson, expressions
with rational exponents (fractional
exponents) are expressions with
exponents that are rational. Radicals
and expressions with rational
exponents are alternate ways of
expressing the same thing.
A radical expression is an algebraic
expression written in the form √a .

Addition and subtraction
of radicals
We add or subtract by
combining the similar/like radicals
1. 5 6 + 9 6 − 8 6 = 6 6
2. 20 3 −10 4 + 4 − 53 =153 − 94
3. 2 27 + 3 48 − 4 12 = 10 3
Multiplication of radicals
1. = 42

Division of radicals
1. 4 3 2 ÷ 6 3 4 = 3 4/3
2. 3 ÷ ( 3 − 2) =3 3+3 2
3. 6 3 3 ÷ 3 = 2 6 243
Radical Equation
It is an equation in which the variable
appears in a radicand.
