Index, radicand, and radical :) lmfao
Odd
the index in a radical equation appears above and left of the root symbol and tells you what kind of root the radicand is.
When arranging radicals, it is important to consider the index of the radical, whether or not the radical is mixed or entire, and then the radicand.
In a radical expression, the index is a number that indicates the degree of the root being taken. It is typically found as a small number positioned to the upper left of the radical symbol. For example, in the expression ( \sqrt[3]{x} ), the index is 3, indicating the cube root of ( x ). If no index is written, it is assumed to be 2, representing the square root.

The root of a number is any number that when multiplied by a certain number of times, it becomes the original number. The number of times the root has to be multiplied is called the index of the radical. The number that it becomes after it is multiplied is called the radicand. If the index is equal to x, and the radicand is equal to y, then the root can be expressed by " y to the (1/x)th power", or "y1/x".

A radical expression represents the root of a number and is indicated by the radical symbol (√). The index of the radical, typically written as a small number to the upper left of the radical symbol, specifies which root is meant; for example, √x denotes the square root, while ∛x denotes the cube root. If the index is omitted, as in √x, it is generally assumed to be 2, indicating a square root.
Radical like terms are expressions that contain the same type of radical, meaning they have the same index and the same radicand (the number or expression inside the radical). For example, ( \sqrt{2} ) and ( 3\sqrt{2} ) are like terms because they both involve the square root of 2. However, ( \sqrt{2} ) and ( \sqrt{3} ) are not like terms since their radicands differ. Like terms can be combined through addition or subtraction.
Given that the radicand is part of the question, not part of the answer, you can make the radicand whatever you want it to be. However, in any given root sum, for example, sqrt(-4), if the index is even, such as it is in a square root sum, the answer will always be positive. If the index is odd, and the radicand is negative, the answer will also be negative.
A radical expression is considered to be in simplified form when there are no perfect square factors (or higher-order factors, depending on the root) remaining under the radical, and no fractions exist within the radical itself. Additionally, any coefficients in front of the radical should be as simple as possible, and the index of the radical should be minimal. If these conditions are met, the expression is deemed simplified.
