Question 460833: what are radical expressions? What is the process we follow when adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing radical expressions? In your answer, demonstrate the process for each one with your own example Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Radical expressions are pretty self-explanatory, expressions with radicals in them. The process is quite similar to adding other things, but you have to make sure you add like terms and know when to simplify such an expression. For example,
(I picked an example that would use all four arithmetic operations and would simplify easily).
We multiply to get which is equal to . The quantity is equal to . Thus the entire expression is equal to
(all terms are like so we add their coefficients).
