What properties are important to know for simplifying radical expressions

What does the product rule of exponents state?

• Multiply the bases and add the exponents

• Add the bases and multiply the exponents

• Multiply the exponents if the bases are the same

• Add the exponents if the bases are the same

If you have x^a raised to the power of b, what is the result according to the power rule?

• x^(a/b)

• x^(a-b)

• x^(a*b)

• x^(a+b)

Which of the following is true about the root of a product?

• The root of a product is the sum of the roots of each term

• The root of a product is the difference of the roots of each term

• The root of a product is the quotient of the roots of each term

• The root of a product is the product of the roots of each term

How can you simplify the root of a quotient?

• By subtracting the root of the denominator from the root of the numerator

• By adding the roots of the numerator and denominator

• By multiplying the roots of the numerator and denominator

• By taking the root of the numerator and the root of the denominator separately

What is the main focus of the rules of radicals discussed?

• Adding roots of similar terms

• Multiplying roots with different bases

• Breaking down roots of products and quotients

• Combining roots of different terms
