Operations On Radicals

1) There are three cases when multiplying radicals: multiplying radicals of the same index, radicals with different indices but the same radicand, and multiplying binomials using distribution or special product rules. 2) When adding or subtracting radicals, they must have the same radicand and index, and you add or subtract only the coefficients and copy the common radicals. 3) To divide radicals, you divide the radicands and keep the same index, as the nth root of a number divided by the nth root of another is the nth root of the quotient.

Radicals

Ms. Keylin H. Talavera


SIMILAR RADICALS
radicals with the same radicand and index.

Examples:
 
, , . These three radical numbers are similar since
the radicand are the same which is 5 and the index
is 2 or all square root.
UNLIKE / DISIMILAR RADICALS
the radicand are not the same and/or the index are
also different.

Examples:
 
, . Though the radicals have the same radicand but the index
are different. The index are the same but the radicand are
different. , . The index are the same but the radicand are
different.
Addition and Subtraction of
Radicals

In adding or subtracting radicals, you can only add or


subtract similar radicals. To add or subtract similar
radicals, add or subtract only the coefficients of the
radical number and copy the common radicals.
Example

Multiplication of Radicals
 
There are three cases to be considered in multiplying
radicals.
1.Multiplying radicals of the same order or index.
Apply the rule :

*multiply the coefficients and the


radicands
Example
 
1.

¿ ( 3 ٠ 1) √ 5 ∙ 2
 

¿ 3 √ 10
 
Example
 
2.
¿ ( 2٠ 1 ) √ 5 ∙ 5
 

¿ 2 √ 25
 

¿ 2 (5 )
 

 
¿ 10
Multiplication of Radicals

2. Multiplying Radicals with different indices but


same radicands.
If the radicands are the same but different indices,
you have to change them into similar index.

Multiplication of Radicals

3. Binomials can be multiplied using


distributive property or applying the rule
of special products of algebraic expressions or
binomials
Example
 
1.

Dividing Radicals

If the nth root of a number is divided by the nth root of


 

another number, then the result is the nth root of the


quotient.
Example
 
1.
 
=

 
 
= =
 
2.
