3. Operations With Radical Expressions

Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 11 Page 629

Use the Distributive Property to combine the radical expressions.

8sqrt(3)

Practice makes perfect

Radicals can only be added or subtracted when they have like radicands. a sqrt(x) + b sqrt(x) = (a+b) sqrt(x) asqrt(x)-bsqrt(x)=(a-b)sqrt(x) Since in our exercise all of the radicands are alike, we will use the Distributive Property to perform the addition.

7sqrt(3) +sqrt(3)

Identity Property of Multiplication

7sqrt(3) +1sqrt(3)

Factor out sqrt(3)

(7+1)sqrt(3)

Add terms
