Simplifying Radicals Part 2 - April 27th

Topics for Today:

Today we worked more on simplifying radicals, with an emphasis on division.  We also defined what it means for radicals to be in simplest form.

Summary:  Radicals in Simplest Form.

A radical expression is in simplest form when all 3 conditions are true:

1. The radicand has no perfect square factors (other than 1).
2. The radicand has no fractions.
3. The denominator of a fraction had no radical.
