Study Notes

Simplifying Expressions Involving Surds

  • To simplify expressions involving surds, reduce all surds to their simplest form.
  • Surds with the same value under the root can be added or subtracted.

Simplifying Surd Expressions

  • To simplify surd expressions, follow these steps:
    • Reduce all surds in the expression to their simplest form.
    • Simplify the expression using rules of surds.

Simplifying Algebraic Fractions

  • To simplify algebraic fractions, follow these steps:
    • Cancel any common terms in the numerator and denominator.
