Expressions with Radicals March 14th, 2013 PI DAY!!! 3-14
Warm Up 1. Rewrite using rational exponents: 2. Rewrite in radical form then simplify the radical: 3. Simplify:
Summarize: Adding/Subtracting Radicals • In order to add/subtract radicals, the _____________ must be the same. • To add/subtract radicals, simply add/subtract the________________.
How can we use this in geometry? • Find the perimeter of the rectangle below in radical form:
You Try: • Find the perimeter of the square below in radical form:
]Summarize:Multiplying Monomial Radicals • To multiply monomial radicals (radicals that only have one term), multiply their “outsides” together then multiply their “insides” together
Examples: • Don’t forget to simplify the product, when possible!
You Try: • Don’t forget to simplify the product, when possible.
How would we multiply this? (x + 6)(3x – 1)
Geometry applications • Find the area of the following rectangle:
You Try: • Find the area of the square and triangle below:
Homework • WORKBOOK • P. 295 (1-17 odd)
Amigo Bingo • Fill in your board with your classmates’ names below:
Complete the problems on the sheet that I assign. We will check in after every few questions to mark names off of our board.
Quiz – Adding, Subtracting, and Multiplying Radical Expressions • You may use your notes, but not your neighbors.
Dividing Radicals • How can we simplify these?
Rationalizing • We can never leave a radical in the denominator of a fraction. (This makes mathematicians cringe and is not considered simplified.) • In order to get rid of a radical in the denominator, we have to “rationalize” the denominator. • In other words, we need to get the “rat” (radical) out of the “den” (denominator).
How can we get rid of a radical? • What operation cancels radicals? • What is ?
How can we rationalize (get rid of the radical) here? • Are we allowed to just randomly multiply the denominator by something? • What are we allowed to multiply by without changing the problem (think IDENTITY PROPERTY OF MULTIPLICATION)?
Examples: • Don’t forget to simplify your final answers!
Examples with variables: • Don’t forget to simplify your final answers.
THINK/PAIR/SHARE • What does it mean to rationalize a fraction? THINK silently for 30 seconds. PAIR discussion with your partner for 30 seconds. SHARE with the class.
TEAM CHALLENGE!!! • Work with your group to create a radical expression that needs to be simplified (it can involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or a combination of these). • Make sure you know how to simplify it correctly. Simplify your expression on a separate sheet of paper.
TEAM CHALLENGE!!! • You will have the opportunity to challenge another team to simplify your expression. • If they simplify it correctly, they will earn 3 points. If they simplify it incorrectly, your team will earn a point. You will then have the opportunity to challenge another team with your problem, so every team should be working on the problem (even if you were not challenged).
TEAM CHALLENGE!!! • If no one simplifies your expression correctly after 3 rounds, we will go on to another problem. • If you stump Ms. Freiberg, you will earn 5 points!!!
