Title: Adding and Subtracting Radicals |
Grade: 8-b Lesson: S1-L6 |
Explanation: The best way to understand algebra is by looking at some examples. Take turns and read each example for easy understanding. |
Examples:
Simplify: \$4 \sqrt(12) - 2\sqrt(27) + 5\sqrt(75)\$.
Step 1a
|
|
The given expression is \$4 \sqrt(12) - 2\sqrt(27) + 5\sqrt(75)\$. Simplify first radical: \$4\sqrt(12) = 4\sqrt(4 times 3) = 4 times 2 \sqrt(3) = 8\sqrt(3)\$. Simplify second radical: \$2\sqrt(27) = 2\sqrt(9 times 3) = 2 times 3 \sqrt(3) = 6\sqrt(3)\$. Simplify third radical: \$5\sqrt(75) = 5\sqrt(25 times 3) = 5 times 5 \sqrt(3) = 25\sqrt(3)\$. |
|
Explanation: Here, the provided radical expressions are simplified individually for clarity and ease of understanding. |
Step 1b
|
|
Substitute back into the original expression: \$8\sqrt(3) - 6\sqrt(3) + 25\sqrt(3)\$. Combine like terms: \$ \sqrt(3) ( 8 - 6 + 25)\$. Simplify the expression: \$27\sqrt(3)\$. So, therefore the simplified expression is \$27\sqrt(3)\$. |
|
Explanation: Substitute the value into the original expression, combine like terms, and simplify. |
