TODAY’S OBJECTIVES
Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of irrational numbers by:1. Expressing a radical as a mixed radical in simplest form
(limited to numerical radicands)2. Expressing a mixed radical as an entire radical (limited to
numerical radicands)

PROPORTIONS
Recall that we can name fractions in many different ways and they will be equivalent to each other, or proportional to each other
For example, all of the following fractions are equivalent to the fraction 3/12:
1/4 , 5/20 , 30/120 , 100/400 Why is ¼ the simplest form of 3/12?

EQUIVALENT EXPRESSIONS
Just as with fractions, equivalent expressions for any number have the same value
Example: √16*9 is equivalent to √16 * √9 because,
√16*9 = √144 = 12 and √16 * √9 = 4*3 = 12 Similarly, 3√8*27 is equivalent to 3√8 * 3√27
because, 3√8*27 = 3√216 = 6 and 3√8 * 3√27 = 2*3 = 6
Multiplication Property of Radicals n√ab = n√a * n√b, where n is a natural
number, and a and b are real numbers

MULTIPLICATION PROPERTY
We can use this property to simplify square roots and cube roots that are not perfect squares or perfect cubes
We can find their factors that are perfect squares or perfect cubes
Example: the factors of 24 are: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24 We can simplify √24 because 24 has a perfect
square factor of 4. Rewrite 24 as the product of two factors, one
being 4 √24 = √4*6 = √4*√6 = 2*√6 = 2√6 We can read 2√6 as “2 root 6”.

MULTIPLICATION PROPERTY
Similarly, we can simplify 3√24 because 24 has a perfect cube factor of 8. Rewrite 24 as the product of two factors, one
being 8 3√24 = 3√8*3 = 3√8 *3√3 = 23√3 We can read this as “2 cube root 3”.
However, we cannot simplify 4√24 because 24 has no factors that can be written as a 4th power
We can also use prime factorization to simplify a radical
![Page 7: M IXED AND E NTIRE R ADICALS Expressing Entire Radicals as Mixed Radicals, and vice versa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022080916/56649ead5503460f94bb3b16/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
EXAMPLE 1) SIMPLIFYING RADICALS USING PRIME FACTORIZATION
Simplify the radical √80 Solution:
√80 = √8*10 = √2*2*2*5*2 = √(2*2)*(2*2)*5 = √4*√4*√5 =2*2*√5 4√5
Your turn: Simplify the radical 3√144 Simplify the radical 4√162 = 23√18, 34√2
![Page 8: M IXED AND E NTIRE R ADICALS Expressing Entire Radicals as Mixed Radicals, and vice versa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022080916/56649ead5503460f94bb3b16/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MULTIPLE ANSWERS
Some numbers, such as 200, have more than one perfect square factor
The factors of 200 are: 1,2,4,5,8,10,20,25,40,50,100,200
Since 4, 25, and 100 are perfect squares, we can simplify √200 in three ways: 2√50, 5√8, 10√2 10√2 is in simplest form because the radical
contains no perfect square factors other than 1. So, to write a radical of index n in simplest
form, we write the radicand as a product of 2 factors, one of which is the greatest perfect nth power
![Page 9: M IXED AND E NTIRE R ADICALS Expressing Entire Radicals as Mixed Radicals, and vice versa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022080916/56649ead5503460f94bb3b16/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
EXAMPLE 2) WRITING RADICALS IN SIMPLEST FORM
Write the radical in simplest form, if possible. 3√40
Solution: Look for the perfect nth factors, where n is the
index of the radical. The factors of 40 are: 1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40 The greatest perfect cube is 8 = 2*2*2, so write 40
as 8*5. 3√40 = 3√8*5 = 3√8*3√5 = 23√5
Your turn: Write the radical in simplest form, if possible.
√26, 4√32 Cannot be simplified, 24√2

MIXED AND ENTIRE RADICALS
Radicals of the form n√x such as √80, or 3√144 are entire radicals
Radicals of the form an√x such as 4√5, or 23√18 are mixed radicals
We already rewrote entire radicals as mixed radicals in Examples 1 and 2
Here is one more example going the opposite way (mixed radical entire radical)
![Page 11: M IXED AND E NTIRE R ADICALS Expressing Entire Radicals as Mixed Radicals, and vice versa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022080916/56649ead5503460f94bb3b16/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
EXAMPLE 3) WRITING MIXED RADICALS AS ENTIRE RADICALS
Write the mixed radical as an entire radical 33√2
Solution: Write 3 as: 3√3*3*3 = 3√27 33√2 = 3√27 * 3√2 = 3√27*2 = 3√54
Your turn: Write each mixed radical as an entire radical. 4√3, 25√2
√48, 5√64

REVIEW
Multiplication Property of Radicals is: n√ab = n√a * n√b, where n is a natural number,
and a and b are real numbers to write a radical of index n in simplest form,
we write the radicand as a product of 2 factors, one of which is the greatest perfect nth power
Radicals of the form n√x such as √80, or 3√144 are entire radicals
Radicals of the form an√x such as 4√5, or 23√18 are mixed radicals
