This video tutorial covers the properties and applications of rational exponents, including their conversion to radical exponents. It reviews the properties of radicals, techniques for simplifying radicals, and rationalizing denominators. The tutorial also explains how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide radicals, providing examples to illustrate these concepts.

What is the main focus of this video tutorial?

• Properties of complex numbers

• Properties of integers

• Properties of rational exponents

• Properties of irrational numbers

Which of the following is NOT a property of rational exponents?

• Product of powers

• Power of a quotient

• Sum of powers

• Negative exponent

How can 4^(3/2) be rewritten using radical notation?

• Square root of 4 cubed

• Cube root of 4 squared

• Fourth root of 4 cubed

• Square root of 4 squared

What does a negative exponent indicate?

• The exponent is ignored

• The base is inverted

• The base becomes negative

• The base is squared

What is the property of radicals that allows separating the nth root of a product?

• Quotient property

• Product property

• Difference property

• Sum property

How can you simplify the expression 1 over the square root of 2?

• Multiply by 1 over square root of 2

• Multiply by square root of 2 over 2

• Multiply by 2 over square root of 2

• Multiply by square root of 2 over square root of 2

When can radicals be added or subtracted?

• When they have different indices

• When they are like radicals

• When they have the same radicand

• When they have the same index

What is the first step in multiplying radicals with the same index?

• Add the indices

• Divide the radicands

• Multiply the radicands

• Subtract the indices

What should you be cautious about when multiplying radicals with different indices?

• The radicands should be subtracted

• The result is always the same

• The indices should be added

• The result may differ from expected
