Key Concepts

Simplifying Radical Expressions

This involves rewriting a radical in its simplest form by extracting and simplifying perfect square factors (or other relevant factors) from the radicand. Simplifying radicals makes the manipulation of these expressions easier in algebraic operations.

Rationalizing the Denominator

This is the process of eliminating irrational numbers such as square roots from the denominator of a fraction. To do so, one typically multiplies both the numerator and denominator by an appropriate expression that will remove the radical from the denominator while keeping the value of the fraction unchanged.
