Study Notes
Intermediate Algebra
- Subject Code: Math 2
- Module Code: 6.0
- Lesson Code: 6.1.2
- Time Allocation: 30 minutes
Radical Expressions
- Even-numbered items are assessed.
- Odd-numbered items have answers at the end of the lesson.
- Exercises before proceeding to rational exponents:
- Find real solutions for equations like 3x³ + 81 = 0
- Simplify radicals like √121x⁹⁰ and √(x-5)⁵
- Convert expressions to exponential form, simplify if possible (e.g., (√x²)²)
- Convert expressions to radical notation, simplify if possible (e.g., (81x⁸)⅓ )
Knot
- Radical expressions contain the radical symbol.
- The index is n, the radicand is x, and the radical symbol is √.
- Principal nth root of k (n>1, n∈Z):
- Positive if k > 0
- Negative if k < 0 and n is odd
- Not a real number if k < 0 and n is even
- Zero if k = 0
- If k is a positive real number and n is even, there are two real nth roots.
- If k is any real number and n is odd, there is one real nth root.
- If k is a negative real number and n is even, there is no real nth root.
- xⁿ = ⁿ√x (x≥0 if n is even)
- xᵐ/ⁿ = (ⁿ√x)ᵐ
Answers to Odd-Numbered Exercises
- Sample problems and solutions are provided for specific odd-numbered exercises.
nth Root of a Number
- The nth root of a number b (n>1) is a number k such that kⁿ = b.
- Examples of finding the real solutions to equations like x² - 121 = 0 and 3x³ = -24 are included.
Perfect nth Powers
- Examples of perfect squares like 25 and 121 are given.
- Perfect cubes and higher powers are listed
- Tables of perfect squares, cubes, and fourth powers are included.
Principal nth Root
- Principal nth root of k is the positive nth root. If n is an integer greater than 1.
- Examples of finding principal roots like √49, √-27 and √-16 are given.
- Explanation of when an nth root is not a real number.
- Examples using various nth roots
Evaluating √xⁿ
- Simplifying expressions involving variables with the nth root.
- Important principle: √xⁿ = x if n is odd, √xⁿ = |x| if n is even.
Rational Exponents
- Converting between radical and rational exponent notation.
- Rules for evaluating expressions with rational exponents, including examples.
