Radical Operations

1. You can combine radicals with different indices.

• TRUE

• FALSE

2. Adding and subtracting radical expressions is very much similar to adding and subtracting similar terms of polynomials.

• TRUE

• FALSE

3. In the process of multiplying radicals, there are only three cases to be considered: (a) To multiply radicals of the same order. (b) To multiply binomials involving radicals. (c) To multiply radicals of different orders.

• TRUE

• FALSE

4. Rationalizing is necessary for the division of radicals.

• TRUE

• FALSE

• TRUE

• FALSE

• TRUE

• FALSE

The product of the square root of two positive integers is equal to the square root of the product of these integers.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The process of removing the radical from the numerator is called rationalizing the denominator.

• TRUE

• FALSE

To multiply radical expressions with more than one term, use the associative property to remove parenthesis.

• TRUE

• FALSE

We add or subtract the indices and retain the radicand when we combine similar radicals.

• TRUE

• FALSE
