Operations with Radicals Algebra 2

What is the process in which one eliminates radicals from the denominator or fractions from radicands.

• Rationalizing the denominator

• Conjugates

• The Principal Root

• Combining Like Expressions

Select all that are necessary when simplifying radicals

• The index must be as small as possible.

• The radicand contains no factors that are nth powers.

• The radicand contains no fractions

• No radicals appear in the denominator

Only _____________________________ can be combined when adding and subtracting radicals.

• Like radical expressions

• Unlike radical expressions

• radicals with the same index

• radicals with different indexes.

• A
• B
• C
