Study Notes

Radical Expressions Simplification

  • Expression Simplification: √40 + 2√10 + √90 simplifies to 7√10.
  • Difference of Radicals: √18 - √2 simplifies to 2√2.
  • Combining Like Terms: 2√5 + 8√5 combines to 10√5.

Identifying Equivalent Expressions

  • Expression With Negative Square Root: 12√ - √27 + √75 simplifies to 4√3.
  • Substituting Variables: When y ≠ 0, √(y^3) + √(4y^3) - 2y√(y) simplifies to y√y.
  • Combining Radicals with Variables: 5x√2 - 2√2 + 2x√2 results in 7x√2 - 2√2.

Like Terms in Radical Expressions

  • Definition of Like Terms: Two radical expressions are like terms if they share the same degree and the same radicand.

Additional Simplifications

  • Sum of Radicals: √20 + √45 simplifies to 5√5.
  • Combining with Variables: 4√7 - 3x√7 - x√7 simplifies to 4√7 - 4x√7.
  • Complex Variable Expression: For x ≠ 0, √50x^3 - √25x^3 + 5√x^3 - √2x^3 simplifies to 4x√(2x).
