Steps to Simplifying Radicals:
1. Rewrite the irrational expression as the product of 2 radicals. One of those radicals MUST have a perfect square inside it.
2. Break down the radical with the perfect square inside it.
3. Write your final answer.

When you add or subtract radicals, you must have the same # inside the radical
symbol (radicand).
It's just like combining like terms!!!

Nov 59:20 AM
Use a bit of logic to do these problems. Simplify the radical that is easier to YOU first! Then you
know what the "last name" has to be for the other radical.
Ex: Which radical is easier to break down?
What is the "last name" going to be?

FOIL-ing Radicals
Nov 59:21 AM
Do you recall how to multiply binomials? You guys call this the FOIL-ing Method.
Multiply and simplify: 1. (x + 2) (x - 9) =
2. (3 - x) (3 + x) =
3. (x2 - 1) (x2 - 7) =

DID YOU KNOW???The DISTANCE formula was "created" by
manipulating the Pythagorean Theorem.
Nov 59:21 AM
Pythagoras (569-500 B.C.E.) was born on the island of Samos in Greece, and did much traveling through Egypt, learning, among other things, mathematics. Not much more is known of his early years. Pythagoras gained his famous status
by founding a group, the Brotherhood of Pythagoreans, which was devoted to the study of mathematics. The group was almost cult-like in that it had symbols,
rituals and prayers. In addition, Pythagoras believed that "Number rules the universe,"and the Pythagoreans gave numerical values to many objects and ideas.
These numerical values, in turn, were endowed with mystical and spiritual qualities.

Legend has it that upon completion of his famous theorem, Pythagoras sacrificed 100 oxen. Although he is credited with the discovery of the famous theorem, it is not possible to tell if Pythagoras is the actual author. The Pythagoreans wrote many geometric proofs, but it is difficult to ascertain
who proved what, as the group wanted to keep their findings secret. Unfortunately, this vow of secrecy prevented an important mathematical idea from being made public. The Pythagoreans had discovered irrational numbers!
Nov 59:21 AM
If we take an isosceles right triangle with legs of measure 1, the hypotenuse will measure sqrt 2. But this number cannot be expressed as a length that can be
measured with a ruler divided into fractional parts, and that deeply disturbed the Pythagoreans, who believed that "All is number." They called these numbers
"alogon," which means "unutterable." So shocked were the Pythagoreans by these numbers, they put to death a member who dared to mention their
existence to the public. It would be 200 years later that the Greek mathematician Eudoxus developed a way to deal with these unutterable
numbers...

The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find the length of a side of a
RIGHT TRIANGLE.
a2 + b2 = c2
a & b represent the length of the legs
c represents the length of the hypotenuse
***The hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle.
Nov 59:21 AM
The Pythagorean Theorem also states:
the area of square A plus the area of square B is equal to the area of square C.

Solve for x in the following 2 problems:
1. x2 5x 36 = 0
2. 2x2 + 2x = 12
Nov 59:22 AM
Often, the simplest way to solve "ax2 + bx + c = 0" for the value of x is to factor the quadratic, set each factor equal to zero, and then solve each factor.
But sometimes the quadratic is too messy, or it doesn't factor at all, or you just don't feel like factoring.
While factoring may not always be successful, the Quadratic Formula can always find the solution.
Nov 59:22 AM
For ax2 + bx + c = 0, the value of x is given by:
This formula is called The Quadratic Formula.
***Remember, a, b, and c represent the coefficients in our equation. Solving ax2 + bx + c = 0 for x means, among other things, that you are trying to find xintercepts.
Key Point: Sometimes they ask you to find the ROOTS. This is a fancy way of asking you to solve for the variable!

Quadratic Formula with Sum and Product Rules

Remind me again how you would solve the following quadratic equation for the value of x in simplest radical form:
1.
Since this is an equation, there must be a way to check it. We could substitute our answer back into the original equation, but our answer is really messy. Plus there are 2 of them! There must be another method of check our
roots of the quadratic equation.
