Radicals Arithmetic

A method used to eliminate radicals from the denominator of a

fraction.

• Rationalize the Denominator

• Zero Exponent

• Radical

• Power

In order to add or subtract a radical, what has to be the same?

• radicands

• coefficients

• exponents

• denominators

What is the part inside the radical called?

• denominator

• numerator

• radicand

• exponent

What is the part inside the check mark part of a radical called?

• coefficient

• radicand

• root

• exponent

What has to be the same in order to multiply radicals?

• Denominator

• Index or root

• Coefficient

• Exponent

• Yes. Both radicands would be the same.

• No. This would not simplify to have the same radicans.
