2 Explore Explorig Ratioal Expoets A radical expressio is a expressio that cotais the radical symbol,. For a, is called the idex ad a is called the radicad. must be a iteger greater tha. a ca be ay real umber whe is odd, but must be o-egative whe is eve. Whe, the radical is a square root ad the idex is usually ot show. You ca write a radical expressio as a power. First, ote what happes whe you raise a power to a power. ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) 6, so ( ). I fact, for all real umbers a ad all ratioal umbers m ad, ( a m ) a m. This is called the Power of a Power Property. A radical expressio ca be writte as a expoetial expressio: a a k.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES What patter ca you use to evaluate egative expoets? As the value of the expoet decreases by, the value of the power is divided by the base. Explai Simplifyig Numerical Expressios with th Roots For ay iteger >, the th root of a is a umber that, whe multiplied by itself times, is equal to a. x a x a The th root ca be writte as a radical with a idex of, or as a power with a expoet of. A expoet i the form of a fractio is a ratioal expoet. a a The expressios are iterchageable, ad to evaluate the th root, it is ecessary to fid the umber, x, that satisfies the equatio x a. Example 6 Fid the root ad simplify the expressio. Covert to radical. 6 6 Rewrite radicad as a power. Defiitio of th root 8 + Covert to radicals. 8 + Rewrite radicads as powers Apply defiitio of th root. + Simplify. 6 Houghto Miffli Harcourt Publishig Compay How ca you evaluate a umber writte with a egative expoet? A umber with a egative expoet ca be writte as the reciprocal of the umber writte with a positive expoet. EXPLORE Explorig Ratioal Expoets QUESTIONING STRATEGIES Whe you covert betwee radical form ad ratioal expoet form, what are the restrictios o the radicad ad idex? Coversios are doe for all real umbers for which the radical is defied. The idex must be a positive iteger ad the power of the radicad must be a iteger. Module 56 Lesso PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Learig Progressios I this lesso, studets exted their kowledge of expoets to the properties of iteger ad ratioal expoets while allowig for a otatio for radicals i terms of ratioal expoets. Some key uderstadigs for studets are as follows: The defiitio b _ b, where b > ad is a positive iteger, is used to simplify expressios with ratioal expoets.

Example Simplify expressios with fractioal expoets EXPLAIN Simplifyig Numerical Expressios with Ratioal Expoets QUESTIONING STRATEGY How do you simplify 8 _? Determie the th root of 8, or. Whe you simplify the ratioal expoet, what does it mea if the simplified form is a iteger? If it is a fractio? If the expoet is a iteger, the fial form will ot cotai a radical sig.

After each roll, the studet uses the umbers show o the cubes to complete the expressio 6 r b. The the studet simplifies the expressio or states that it caot be simplified.

4 YourTur 5. _ _ - 5 ( 5 ) ( 5 5 ) 8 Elaborate 5_ - _ ( ) 5 - ( ) ( ) 5 - ( Why ca you evaluate a odd root for ay radicad, but eve roots require o-egative radicads? Multiplyig a umber by a egative umber chages the sig, so that i a product with multiple factors, a odd umber of egative factors results i a egative product, while a eve umber of egative factors results i a positive product. Positive factors do ot chage the sig of a product. There is o way to make a egative product with a eve umber of idetical factors. For odd roots, a egative umber simply has a egative root sice a odd umber of egative factors results i a egative product, while a positive umber has a positive root. 8. I evaluatig powers with ratioal expoets with values like, why is it usually better to fid the root before the power? Would it chage the aswer to switch the order? The th root is a smaller umber tha the base, while evaluatig the power of m first requires fidig the th root of a larger umber tha the base. Roots of large umbers ca be foud by guessig, but smaller umbers are more familiar (you are more likely to simply recogize the root or pick it o the first guess) ad eve if a few guesses are required, it is easier to check with small umbers. No, switchig the order would ot chage the aswer.. Essetial Questio Check-I How ca radicals ad ratioal expoets be used to simplify expressios ivolvig oe or the other? Radical expressios are iterchageable with expoets of the form _. Powers with ratioal expoets ca be evaluated by covertig them ito radical expressios with idex. Radical expressios with powers ca sometimes be simplified by switchig to ratioal expoets ad usig the properties of powers. ) Houghto Miffli Harcourt Publishig Compay INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY Ecourage the use of graphig calculators to check the results of simplifyig umerical radical expressios ad umerical expressios with ratioal expoets. Ask studets to use the followig sample problems to practice eterig expressios correctly ito their calculators: Eter 6 as 6^(/); eter as ^(/); eter - _ 5 as 5^(-/). Make sure studets uderstad the importace of icludig paretheses due to the order of operatios. ELABORATE QUESTIONING STRATEGIES Whe simplifyig a fractioal expoet with the form m, will you get a differet aswer if you fid the root first ad the raise the aswer to the power, or raise to a power first ad the take the root? Explai. No, the order does t matter. You get the same aswer either way, although it is ofte easier to take the root first. SUMMARIZE THE LESSON How do you simplify a equatio with a ratioal expoet? If the expoet has the form _, fid the th root m of the base. If the expoet has the form, fid the th root of the base raised to the mth power. Module 58 Lesso DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Kiesthetic Experiece As studets work o a problem, suggest that kiesthetic learers write the base, idex, ad power o separate small pieces of paper.
