    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.
      • Use index laws to simplify the expression.
      • Cancel any algebra (letter) terms from the numerator and denominator.

    Multiplying Algebraic Fractions

    • To multiply algebraic fractions, follow these steps:
      • Multiply the numerators together.
      • Multiply the denominators together.

    Simplifying Expressions with Indices

    • To simplify expressions with indices, follow these steps:
      • Simplify the fractions by factorising expressions and dividing by any common terms.
      • Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

    Dividing Algebraic Fractions

    • To divide algebraic fractions, follow these steps:
      • Flip the second fraction and then multiply them together.
      • Simplify the fractions by factorising any expressions which can be factorised.
      • Divide out by any common terms to cancel them.
