Square Roots

We reviewed simplifying square roots. We built on their previous knowledge of square roots by showing how to add, subtract, and multiply with radicals. It is important to remember that we must have like terms to add or subtract radicals (exact same square root). When multiplying radicals, we multiply their coefficients (the numbers on the outside) and we multiply the radicands (the numbers on the inside) separately.

Homework:
Due next Thursday - Unit 2 vocabulary definitions
Due Monday - Page 144: #1 - 9, #19 - 24 and page 145: #1 - 7, #16 - 20

There is a quiz scheduled for next Wednesday that will assess the students' understanding of simplifying square roots and using square roots to solve quadratic equations (lessons from today through Tuesday).
