Review Exam #8
Evaluate each expression, or state that the expression is not a real number.
Use a calculator to approximate each expression. Round to
three decimal places. If the expression is not a real
number so that an approximation is not possible say so.
Find each cube root.
Find the indicated root, or state that the expression is
not a real number.
Use the product rule for square roots to find each
product.
Simplify each expression. If the expression cannot be
simplified say so.
Multiply and, if possible, simplify.
Simplify using the quotient rule for square roots.
Simplify each radical expression.
Solve the quadratic equation by the square root property.
If possible, simplify radicals or rationalize denominators.
