g9 PPT Radicals

The document provides an overview of radicals and rational exponents. It defines radicals as expressions containing a radical sign and reviews how to simplify radical expressions and translate between rational and radical forms. Examples are provided to illustrate how to simplify expressions with rational exponents using exponent rules and how to translate between rational and radical forms. Exercises are included for students to practice translating between the two forms.

MATHEMATICS IX

RADICALS
OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:


• know and define the concept of radicals.
• translate rational exponents into a radical expression.
• simplify radical expression
• solve problems involving the basic concept of radicals.
Let’s Review!
How are we going to simplify exponent raise to a certain power or
another exponent?

Rational Exponents
It is also called fractional exponents are expressions
with exponents that are rational numbers.

Example:
Rules are 1.) (3¹ ²)⁶
/ 2.) (41/3)2
same as Law
of Exponents. = 3 ¹ /² • ⁶ /¹ = 4 2/3 •
= 3 ² = 3³
⁶ /

= 27
The Square Root

• The opposite of taking the square of a number is taking the


square root of a number. It is the same as raising a number to
the fractional exponent ½.

• A number b is a square root of a number a if Hence, in order to


find a square root of a , you need to think of a number that,
when squared, equals a.
Radical Expression

• A radical expression is an expression Radical sign


containing a radical sign. index

√𝑎
• The expression under the radical sign is
called the radicand.
• The small number at the upper left of the
radical sign is called the index.
3
• The index will be omitted if it is equal to
2.
• If the radicand of a square root is a radicand
negative number, the radical is NOT a real
number.

Translating Rational form to Radical form
If m and n are positive integers that are
relatively prime, and a be a real numbers, then
