Front

What is a radical expression?

Back

A radical expression is an expression that includes a root, such as a square root, cube root, etc. For example, @@ ext{radical expression} = ext{ } oot{n}{x}@@.

Front

How do you simplify a radical expression?

Back

To simplify a radical expression, factor the number under the radical into its prime factors and look for pairs (for square roots) or groups (for cube roots) to simplify.

Front

What is the square root of 16?

Back

Front

Back

The expression in radical form is @@ oot{4}{x^3}@@.

Front

What is the cube root of 27?

Back

Front

How do you convert a radical expression to an exponent?

Back

To convert a radical expression to an exponent, use the formula @@ oot{n}{x} = x^{rac{1}{n}}@@.

Front

What is the value of @@ oot{2}{8}@@?

Back

Front

Simplify @@ oot{3}{27}@@.

Back

@@ oot{3}{27} = 3@@.

Front

What is the product of two square roots?

Back

The product of two square roots can be simplified as @@ oot{a}{x} imes oot{a}{y} = oot{a}{xy}@@.

Front

What is the quotient of two square roots?

Back

The quotient of two square roots can be simplified as @@ oot{a}{x} / oot{a}{y} = oot{a}{rac{x}{y}}@@.
