Conjugates and Other Roots

Topics for Today:

We finished our discussion of operations with radical expressions today with a method to simplify fractions with radical operations in the denominator.  We discussed the topic of conjugates to rationalize denominators that fall into this category.

We also discussed different roots other than square roots, and how to find them.


Vocabulary:  conjugate, cube root

Sections Covered in Textbook:

11-4:  Operations with Radical Expressions (pages 600-605)
**Other Root Functions are not in our book.


Resources & Tutorials:

1) Divide by Conjugate Method
2) Math is Fun: Cubes and Cube Roots (not a video).
3) How do you find the cube root of a perfect cube?
