Radicals and Rational Exponents

Definition of the Principal Square
Root

• If a is a nonnegative real number, the
nonnegative number b such that b2 = a,
denoted by is the principal square
root
of a.

Square Roots of Perfect Squares

The Product Rule for Square Roots

• If a and b represent nonnegative real
number, then

• The square root of a product is the product
of the square roots.

Text Example

• Simplify

Solution:

The Quotient Rule for Square Roots

• If a and b represent nonnegative real
numbers and b does not equal 0, then

and

• The square root of the quotient is the
quotient of the square roots.

Text Example

• Simplify:

Definition of the Principal nth Root
of a Real Number

means that

• If n, the index, is even, then a is
nonnegative (a≥ 0) and b is also
nonnegative (b ≥ 0) . If n is odd, a and b can
be any real numbers.

Definition of Rational Exponents

• The exponent m/n consists of two parts: the
denominator n is the root and the numerator
m is the exponent. Furthermore,
