These instuctions are for a Texas Instruments graphing calculator. First type 5. Then press the math key and select the fifth option. Then type the number you want under the radical.
√200 = 10√2. In order to simplify square roots, you find what factors of the number under the radical sign you can take the square root of. In the case of 200, its factors are 5 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 2. You can take the square root of 2 * 2 and 5 * 5, which are 2 and 5, respectively. 2 and 5 are on the outside of the radical sign, so you multiply them together to equal 10, while the remaining 2 stays under the radical.
The radicand is the value under the radical symbol.
radicand
the radical sign
It depends what power is associated with the radical.
Rather than use your calculator to estimate numbers under a radical, simplify the radicals and leave them in the problem without plugging them into a calculator.
A calculator would not do you much good here anyway.sqrt(120)simple factoring under the radicalsqrt(22 * 30)can bring the 2 out as it is squared2sqrt(30)========simplified
square root of 125= 25 times 5 under the radical (25 has a square root so you can take that out of the radical)= 5 times the square root of 5 (Thats your final answer with no calculator)
No, you cannot add or subtract under the radical. The radical represents the square root function, and it only operates on the number or expression that is inside the radical. To add or subtract, you need to simplify the expressions inside the radical first.
√20a2b = √4a2 * √5b = 2a√5b the answer is 2a times radical 5b.
sqrt(24) = sqrt(4*6) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(6) = 2*sqrt(6)
The question is based on the premise that It is not possible to simplify a radical without first factorising it. That is simply not true. Beginners may find it a useful step but that does not make it "important to always factor".Simplifying radicals entails removing square factors of the radicand from under the radical. This can be done without factoring first.
Let's assume that \/" is the radical sign.3\/"16The first thing to do would be to solve for the part under the radical.\/"16 = 4Then substitute that into the original problem.3\/"163*412 is the final answer.

Factorise 12.Replace each pair appearing in this factorisation as by the same number outside the radical and then put everything under the radical sign. sqrt(12) = sqrt(2*2*3) = 2*sqrt(3)
