RADICALS
MATHEMATICS IX
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson 90% of the
students should be able to:
• Simplify radical expressions using the
laws of radicals.
• Find the principal root of a number.
• Solve problems involving radicals.
Simplifying Radical Expression
•It is the process of manipulating a radical expression into
an alternate and more simplified form.

•It is the process of simplifying expressions applied to


radicals.

Examples:
√80 =√16 • √5 √72 =√36• √2
= 4√5 = 6 √2
√150 =√25 • √6 √52 =√4 • √13
= 5√6 = 2 √13
