Radicals
Lesson 13.3
Learning Goal 1 (HS.N-RN.B3 and HS.A-SSE.A.1):
The student will be able to use properties of rational and
irrational numbers to write, simplify, and interpret expressions
based on contextual situations.

Like Radicals…



Two radical expressions are like
radicals if they have the same
radicand.
For instance, √2 and 3√2 are like
radicals.
To add or subtract like radicals, add
or subtract their coefficients.
√2 + 3√2 = (1 + 3)√2 = 4√2
√2 - 3√2 = (1 – 3)√2 = -2√2
Practice…

√2
Product Property
Subtract like radicals.
Multiplying Radicals

3√2(√2 + 4√6)
 = (3√2)(√2) + (3√2)(4√6)
Distributive Property
 = 3(√2 ∙ √2) + (3∙4)(√2∙ √6)
Regroup
 = 3√4 + 12√12
Product Property
 = 3√4 + 12√4∙3
Perfect square factor
 = 3(2) + 12(2)√3
Simplify
 = 6 + 24√3
Simplest form
Practice: simplify the radical
expressions.
