Example Question #51 : Simplifying Radicals
Solve.
When adding and subtracting radicals, make the sure radicand or inside the square root are the same.
If they are the same, just add the numbers in front of the radical.
Since they are not the same, the answer is just the problem stated.
Example Question #151 : Radicals
Solve.
When adding and subtracting radicals, make the sure radicand or inside the square root are the same.
If they are the same, just add the numbers in front of the radical.
Looking carefully at the radicand we will notice that each radicand is a perfect sqare. This means we are able to reduce the radical into an integer.
and are all sqaure numbers so instead we have a simple algebraic problem:
which the answer is .
Example Question #52 : Simplifying Radicals
Solve.
When adding and subtracting radicals, make the sure radicand or inside the square root are the same.
If they are the same, just add the numbers in front of the radical.
Looking carefully at the radicand we will see that each radicand is a perfect square. Therefore, we are able to reduce all of the radicals into simple integers.
and are all sqaure numbers so instead we have a simple algebraic problem:
which the answer is .
Example Question #2 : Radicals
Solve.
When adding and subtracting radicals, make the sure radicand or inside the square root are the same.
If they are the same, just add the numbers in front of the radical. If they are not the same, the answer is just the problem stated.
Since they are the same, just add the numbers in front of the radical: which is
Therefore, our final answer is the sum of the integers and the radical:
Example Question #153 : Radicals
Solve.
When adding and subtracting radicals, make the sure radicand or inside the square root are the same.
If they are the same, just add the numbers in front of the radical.
If they are not the same, the answer is just the problem stated.
Since they are the same, just subtract the numbers in front: which is
Therefore, our final answer is this sum with the radical added to the end:
Example Question #152 : Radicals
Solve.
When adding and subtracting radicals, make the sure radicand or inside the square root are the same.
If they are the same, just add the numbers in front of the radical.
If they are not the same, the answer is just the problem stated.
Since they are the same, just add and subtract the numbers in front: which is
Therefore, the final answer will be this sum and the radical added to the end:
Example Question #154 : Radicals
Solve.
When adding and subtracting radicals, make the sure radicand or inside the square root are the same.
If they are the same, just add the numbers in front of the radical.
If they are not the same, the answer is just the problem stated.
Even though it's not the same, double check you can simplify the radicand. Look for perfect squares. Since and is a perfect square, we can rewrite like this: .
Now we have the same radicand, we can now add them easily to get .
Example Question #61 : Simplifying Radicals
Solve.
When adding and subtracting radicals, make the sure radicand or inside the square root are the same. If they are the same, just add the numbers in front of the radical. If they are not the same, the answer is just the problem stated.
Even though it's not the same, double check you can simplify the radicand. Look for perfect squares.
Since and is a perfect square, we can rewrite like this: .
Now we have the same radicand, we can now subtract them easily to get .
Example Question #1392 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs
Solve.
When adding and subtracting radicals, make the sure radicand or inside the square root are the same. If they are the same, just add the numbers in front of the radical. If they are not the same, the answer is just the problem stated.
Even though it's not the same, double check you can simplify the radicand. Look for perfect squares.
Since , and and are perfect squares, we can rewrite like this:
and .
Now that we have the same radicand, we can add them easily to get:
.
Example Question #11 : Adding And Subtracting Radicals
Solve.
When adding and subtracting radicals, make the sure radicand or inside the square root are the same. If they are the same, just add the numbers in front of the radical. If they are not the same, the answer is just the problem stated.
Even though it's not the same, double check you can simplify the radicand. Look for perfect squares. and are perfect squares so we can rewrite like this:
Since and is a perfect square, we can rewrite like this:
.
Lets add everything up.
.
The reason this is the answer, because the is associated with the radical and we can't subtract a whole number with the radical. They are not the same.
