EXPONENT NOTES TO PRINT

All even exponents are perfect

Exponents must be even

CUT EVEN EXPONENTS IN HALF TO FIND SQR RT

Sqr rt of y^10 = y^5

sar rt of y^2 = y

IRRATIONAL:

Standard Radical Form

Irrational number can be :

If any perfect square is a factor of it

BIGGEST PERFECT SQUARE FACTOR , variables with even exponents

multiplied by the other number = Irrational number

Square root of 20 =
Square root 4 multiplied by square root 5
This equals 2 multiplied by radical 5

Square root of 27
Radical 9 times radical 3
This equals 3 times radical 3

radical a^5

Highest Even number out of 5 = 4

can be simplified to radical a^4 times a
Equals a^2 time radical a.

Radical x^9
Radical x^8 times radical x
Equals x^4 times radical x
Radical 75 x^8 y^3
simplified to radical 25 x^8 y^2 times radical 3y
Equals 5x^4y times radical 3y
