Adding and Subtracting Radical Expressions
Objective Add and subtract radical expressions. Vocabulary like radicals
Square-root expressions with the same radicand are examples of like radicals.
Like radicals can be combined by adding or subtracting. You can use the Distributive Property to show this is done: Notice that you can combine like radicals by adding or subtracting the numbers multiplied by the radical and keeping the radical the same.
Helpful Hint Combining like radicals is similar to combining like terms.
Adding and Subtracting Square-Root Expressions Add or subtract. A. The terms are like radicals. B. The terms are unlike radicals. Do not combine.
Adding and Subtracting Square-Root Expressions Add or subtract. C. the terms are like radicals. D. Identify like radicals. Combine like radicals.
