In your past lessons, you encountered exponents. Exponents provide you with a
convenient way to represent and work with very large and very small numbers. In this
module, you will extend your understanding on exponents. Specifically, exponents in a form
of rational numbers (fractions). You will also learn how to equivalently denote rational
number exponents using radical expressions or radicals, use laws of radicals and work on
problems where the applications rational exponents and radicals can be applied in real-life
situations.
Let me ask you these following questions. 1.) Have you ever wondered about how to
identify the side lengths of a square box or the dimensions of a square lot if you know its
area? 2.) Have you tried solving for the length of any side of a right triangle? 3.) Has it come
to your mind how you can find the radius of a cylindrical water tank?

Questions:
1. How do you multiply radicals with more than one term ? Explain.
What’s In
Your goal in this section is to learn how to divide radical expressions.
What’s New
Here are the steps required to rationalize the denominator/divide radical

expression:
Step To rationalize the denominator, you need to multiply both the

1: numerator and denominator by the radical found in the
denominator. The reason for this is because when you multiply
a square root by itself the radical will disappear.
Step Multiply both the numerator and the denominator. Remember
2: that you can multiply numbers outside the radical with numbers
outside the radical and numbers inside the radical with
numbers inside the radical.
Step
3:
Step Reduce the fraction, if you can. You can only reduce numbers
4: that are outside the radical with other numbers that are outside
the radical.
Example 1 – Rationalize the Denominator:
Step 1: To rationalize the

denominator, you need to multiply
both the numerator and
denominator by the radical found
in the denominator.
Step 2: Multiply both the
numerator and the denominator.

Step 4: Reduce the fraction, if you
can. In this case, the we cannot
reduce, so the answer is:

in the denominator.

The previous 4 examples showed how to rationalize the denominator if the

denominator was a square root. What do you do if the denominator
contains a cube root, a fourth root, or any other index? Rather than try and
figure out what terms will create a perfect cube or higher, I will do the
problems similar to how I did the first four examples. We still need to
multiply both the numerator and denominator by the radical found in the
denominator, but we will need to multiply more than once. To make a cube
root disappear, we will need to multiply by the radical found in the
denominator twice. This will give us a total of three radicals that are the
same and if you take a cube root and multiply it by itself three times (or
cube it) the radical will disappear. To make a fourth root disappear, we will
need to multiply by the radical found in the denominator three times. This
will give us a total of four radicals that are the same and if you take a fourth
root and multiply it by itself four times (or raise it to the fourth power) the
radical will disappear. You would do the same sort of thing for fifth roots,
sixth roots, etc.

the radical is a cube root, so I
multiplied twice to get three of a
kind in the denominator, which will
make the radical disappear.
