This document discusses radicals and exponents. It defines exponents as a base number raised to a power or index. Laws of exponents are presented, such as multiplying exponents with the same base by adding their powers. Radicals are defined as involving a radical sign and the number underneath is the radicaland. Rules for radicals are shown, such as taking the square root of a number multiplied by itself. Methods are provided for rationalizing denominators and numerators, such as multiplying both by the conjugate. The document concludes by explaining how to simplify fractional expressions using multiplication, division, addition, subtraction and equations.

Definifion : InvoIve fhe use of fhe rodicoI sign (1). Somefimes fhese ore coIIed surds. fhe number under fhe rodicoI is coIIed fhe rudicund . fhe number indicofing fhe roof being foken is coIIed fhe order, Low of rodicoI. ExompIes : o) b) c) How fo rofionoIi;e fhe denominofor ond numerofor7 There ore 3 coses: I. The I sf sifuofion : monomioI denominofor. Z. The Z nd sifuofion : more fhon one ferm in denominofor. 3. The 3 rd sifuofion : working wifh o reciprocoI. The I sf sifuofion: When fhe denominofor is o monomioI (one ferm), muIfipIy bofh fhe numerofor ond fhe denominofor by whofever mokes fhe denominofor on expression fhof con be simpIified so fhof if no Ionger confoins o rodicoI.
