  • Simplifying Radicals
    ::简化激进

    In algebra, you learned how to simplify radicals. Let’s review it here. Some key points to remember:
    ::在代数中,你学会了如何简化激进。让我们在这里回顾一下。

    1. One way to simplify a radical is to factor out the perfect squares (see Example A).
      ::简化激进的一个办法是将完美的方形考虑在内(见例A)。
    2. When adding radicals, you can only combine radicals with the same number underneath it. For example, 2 5 + 3 6 cannot be combined, because 5 and 6 are not the same number (see Example B).
      ::当添加激进分子时,您只能将根基与底部的相同数字合并。例如,25+36不能合并,因为5和6的数字不同(见例B)。
    3. To multiply two radicals, multiply what is under the radicals and what is in front (see Example B).
      ::要乘以两个激进,就乘以激进之下的东西和前面的东西(见例B)。
    4. To divide radicals, you need to simplify the denominator, which means multiplying the top and bottom of the fraction by the radical in the denominator (see Example C).
      ::要分裂激进分子,你需要简化分母,这意味着分母的顶部和底部乘以分母中的底部(见例C)。

    What if you were asked to find the sum of 32 and 3 8 ? How could you combine these two terms so that you could add them?
    ::如果有人要求你找到32和38的总数呢?你怎么能把这两个词结合起来,以便你添加它们呢?

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Simplify the radical:  75 .
    ::简化激进主义:75。

    75 = 25 3 = 5 3

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Simplify the radicals:  2 5 + 3 80 .
    ::简化基数:25+380。

    2 5 + 3 80 = 2 5 + 3 ( 16 5 ) = 2 5 + ( 3 4 ) 5 = 14 5

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Simplify the radicals. ( For each radical, find the square number(s) that are factors).
    ::简化基数。 (对于每个基数,找到因素的正方数)。

    1. 50

      50 = 25 2 = 5 2

    1. 27

      27 = 9 3 = 3 3

    1. 272

      272 = 16 17 = 4 17

    Example 4
    ::例4

    Simplify the radicals.
    ::简化激进分子。

    1. 2 10 + 160

     Simplify 160 before adding:  2 10 + 160 = 2 10 + 16 10 = 2 10 + 4 10 = 6 10
    ::简化160后加:210+160=210+1610=210+410=610

    1. 5 6 4 18

      5 6 4 18 = 5 4 6 18 = 20 108 = 20 36 3 = 20 6 3 = 120 3

    1. 8 12 2

      8 12 2 = 12 8 2 = 12 16 = 12 4 = 48

    1. ( 5 2 ) 2

      ( 5 2 ) 2 = 5 2 ( 2 ) 2 = 25 2 = 50 the and the 2 cancel each other out
    :sad522=52(2)2=252=50和2相互取消

    Example 5
    ::例5

    Divide and simplify the radicals. (Rewrite all division problems like a fraction).
    ::分解并简化激进。 (将所有分裂问题重写为分数) 。

    1. 4 6 ÷ 3

     

    1. 30 8

      30 8 8 8 = 240 64 = 16 15 8 = 4 15 8 = 15 2

    1. 8 2 6 7

      8 2 6 7 7 7 = 8 14 6 7 = 4 14 3 7 = 4 14 21

    Notice, we do not really “divide” radicals, but get them out of the denominator of a fraction.
    ::注意,我们并不真正“分解”激进分子,而是把他们从分母的分母中解救出来。
