How do you simplify and multiply radicals?
The answer depends on what form of radicals: numbers with factors which are square numbers, radicals where the radicand is in the form of a ratio or a decimal number. Without more information it is not possible to give an answer.
What is the root of a number?
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".
What is radicand?
-The radical is the symbol that represents a square root. -The radicand is the number underneath the radical symbol. -The coefficient is the number out in front of the radical. (We assume that the coefficient multiplies the radical, the same way it would multiply with a variable.)
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 do you call the number under the square root symbol?
The radicand.
