INTEGRAL AND ZERO EXPONENTS

Positive Integral Exponents

Product of a Power (Product Rule)
-If a is a real number and m and n are positive integers, then

Quotient of a Power (Quotient Rule)

-If a is a real number and m and n are positive integers, then

Power of a Power
-If a is a real number and m and n are positive integers, then

Power of a Product
-If a and b is a real number and m is positive integers, then

Power of a Quotient
-If a and b is a real number and m is positive integers, then

Zero Exponent
Any variable / nonzero real number raised to the zero power is equal to one. That is

Negative Integral Exponents

A nonzero real number raised to a negative power is the multiplicative inverse
(reciprocal) of the number raised to the positive opposite of the power. That is, if x = 0 and m is
a positive integer, then

RATIONAL EXPONENT AND RADICAL EXPRESSIONS

A rational exponent is an exponent that is a fraction.

Radicals
An exponential number whose exponent is a rational number can be expressed as
radicals

The denominator of the rational exponent becomes the index of the radical number.

When changing the exponential number with rational exponent whose denominator is 2 to
radical number you may or may not write the index 2.

Laws of Radicals
Laws of radicals are similar to the laws of integral exponents.
Let a, b, m, n, are integers:

SIMPLIFYING RADICAL EXPRESSIONS

A radical is in its simplest form if:

 1. The radicand does not contain a perfect square, cube or nth power.

2. There is no fraction in the radicand or no radical in the denominator.

3. The index of the radical is the lowest possible index.

SIMPLIFYING RADICALS BY REDUCING THE RADICAND

-Reducing radicand is finding a factor of a radicand whose indicated roots can be found.

SIMPLIFYING RADICALS BY REDUCING THE ORDER OF RADICALS
-To reduce the order of radicals is to reduce the index to its lowest possible number.

OPERATIONS ON RADICALS

Similar Radicals
Radical terms are similar if it has the same radicand and index.
Ex.

Dissimilar Radicals
Radicals are unlike or dissimilar if the radicand are not the same and/or the index are
also diffierent.
Ex.

Addition and Subtraction of Radicals

In adding or subtracting radicals, you can only add or subtract similar radicals. To add or
subtract radicals, add or subtract only the coefficients of the radical number and copy the
common radicals.

Multiplication of Radicals
1. Multiplying radicals of the same order or index.

2. Multiplying Radicals with different indices but same radicands.

If the radicands are the same but different indices, you have to change them into
similar index.

 3. Multiplying Radicals involving binomials.
Binomials can be multiplied using distributive property or applying the rule of
special products of algebraic expressions or binomials.

4. Find the difference of the sum and difference of radicals binomials.

Division of Radicals

RADICAL EQUATIONS
A radical equation is an equation whose unknown quantity is in the radicand. Below
are examples of radicals equations and not radicals equations.

In this lesson you have to solve radical equations. Hence you have to assume that if
two numbers are equal, then the square, cube or nth power are also equal. If x = y, then xn = yn
or if then and x = yn .

Solving Radical Equation

In solving radical equations, you have to follow the following steps
1. Write the equation such that the radical containing the unknown is on one side of the
equation.
2. Combine similar terms.
3. Raise both sides of the equation to a power same as the index of the radical. The
equation should be free of radical to complete the solution.
4. Check if the value or values obtained will make the original equation true.

 Common problem involving radical is the solution of the right triangle applying the
Pythagorean Theorem. This theorem is about the relationships among the sides of a right
triangle. The theorem states the “sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs is equal to the
square of the length of the hypotenuse.

Thus, if a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, then
