Radical Expressions
Before we learn about radicals…
When a number is raised to the second
squared
power, the number is called _________.
Perfect square of the
 The result is the ________
original number.

Root
The original number is the _________
of
the result.
Perfect Squares
root
Perfect squares are numbers whose _______
__________ is a whole number.
 List the first 10 perfect squares:

12 = 1
22 = 4
32 = 9
42 = 16
52 = 25
62 = 36
72 = 49
82 = 64
92 = 81
102 = 100
Can we find Perfect Squares
beyond 10?
