Can the radicand be negative when the index is even?
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.
Any radical expression with a negative radicand and a index is a real number?
Odd
Any radical expression with a radicand and an even index is not a real number?
negative
What is a radicand in a radical?
The radicand is the value inside the radical symbol.
How do you know if a square root is simplifed?
A square root is simplified when: -The radicand has no perfect square factors other than 1 -The radicand has no fractions -There are no square roots in the denominator *Radicand: the number and/or variables underneath the square root sign

The number or expression inside a radical symbol?
The term radicand means the number or expression inside the radical symbol. For example, when we have the square root of 2, the 2 is inside the radical symbol. It is the radicand. The radicand may be a number or an algebraic expression. Also, there is not limit to the number of terms the radicand may contain. It may even be infinite!
What is the number called under the square root when the number is negative in the quadratic equation?
The term inside the square root symbol is called the radicand. There isn't a specific term for it based on its sign; whether it's positive or negative, it's still the radicand.I'm a little confused by your reference to the quadratic equation.If the radicand is negative, the root is an imaginary number, though that doesn't specifically have anything to do with the quadratic equation in particular.If the quantity b2 - 4ac is negative in the quadratic equation, the root of the quadratic equation is either complex or imaginary depending on whether or not b is zero.---------------------------Thank you to whoever answered this first; you saved me a bit of trouble explaining this to the asker :)However, in the quadractic equation, the number under the radical is called the discriminant. This determines the number of solutions of the quadratic. If the radicand is negative, this means that there are no real solutions to the equation.
What is the expression under the radical called?
radicand
