    Simplifying Square Roots
    ::简化平方根

    Before we can solve a quadratic equation using square roots, we need to review how to simplify , add, subtract, and multiply them. Recall that the square root is a number that, when multiplied by itself, produces another number. 4 is the square root of 16, for example. -4 is also the square root of 16 because ( 4 ) 2 = 16 . The symbol for square root is the radical sign, or . The number under the radical is called the radicand . If the square root of an integer is not another integer, it is an irrational number .
    ::在我们用正方根解决二次方程之前, 我们需要审查如何简化、 添加、 减、 乘。 回顾正方根是一个数字, 当它本身乘以后, 就会产生另一个数字。 例如 。 4 是 16 的平方根。 4 也是 16 的平方根, 因为 (- 4) 2=16 。 平方根的符号是 激进符号 , 或者 。 基底下的数字叫做 radicand 。 如果整数的平方根不是另一个整数, 它是一个不合理的数字 。

    Let's find 50 .
    ::找五十块吧

    1. using a calculator.
      ::使用计算器。

    To plug the square root into your graphing calculator, typically there is a or SQRT button. Depending on your model, you may have to enter 50 before or after the square root button. Either way, your answer should be 50 = 7.071067811865 In general, we will round to the hundredths place, so 7.07 is sufficient.
    ::要将平方根插入您的图形计算器, 通常需要一个或 SQRT 按钮。 取决于您的模型, 您可能需要在平方根按钮之前或之后输入50 个。 无论哪种方式, 您的回答应该是 50= 7. 071067811865 。 一般来说, 我们将四舍五入到第一百个位置, 所以 7. 07 就足够了 。

    1. by simplifying the square root.
      ::通过简化平方根。

    To simplify the square root, the square numbers must be “pulled out.” Look for factors of 50 that are square numbers: 4, 9, 16, 25... 25 is a factor of 50, so break the factors apart.
    ::为了简化平方根,平方数字必须“拉出来 ” 。 寻找正方数字的50个因素:4,9,16,25... 25是50个因素,所以打破因素。

    50 = 25 2 = 25 2 = 5 2 . This is the most accurate answer.
    ::50=252=252=52 这是最准确的答案

    Radical Rules
    ::激进激进规则

    1. a b = a b = a b Any two radicals can be multiplied together.
    ::1. ab=ab=ab

    2. x a ± y a = x ± y a The radicands must be the same in order to add or subtract.
    ::2. Xaya=xya 弧度必须相同才能增减。

    3. ( a ) 2 = a 2 = a The square and square root cancel each other out.
    ::3. (a)2=a2=a 平方根和平方根相互勾销。

    Now, let's simplify the following expressions.
    ::现在,让我们简化以下表达式。

    1. 45 + 80 2 5

    At first glance, it does not look like we can simplify this. But, we can simplify each radical by pulling out the perfect squares.
    ::乍一看,我们似乎无法简化这一点。 但是,我们可以通过拉出完美的方形来简化每个激进的方形。

    45 = 9 5 = 3 5 80 = 16 5 = 4 5

    Rewriting our expression, we have: 3 5 + 4 5 2 5 and all the radicands are the same. Using the Order of Operations, our answer is 5 5 .
    ::重写我们的表达方式,我们有:35+45-25,所有射线都是相同的。使用行动命令,我们的答复是55。

    1. 2 35 4 7

    Multiply across.
    ::乘以横跨。

    2 35 4 7 = 2 4 35 7 = 8 245

    Now, simplify the radical. 8 245 = 8 49 5 = 8 7 5 = 56 5
    ::现在,简化底线8245=8495=875=565

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were asked to find the length of the triangle's hypotenuse. 
    ::早些时候,有人要求你 找到三角形的下垂长度

    We must use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that the square of one leg of a right triangle plus the square of the other leg equals the square of the hypotenuse.
    ::我们必须使用Pythagorean Theorem, 它说右三角的一条腿加上另一条腿的正方形等于下方的正方形。

    So we are looking for c such that ( 2 5 ) 2 + ( 3 4 ) 2 = c 2 .
    ::因此,我们正在寻找(25)2+(34)2=c2的c。

    Simplifying, we get 4 5 + 9 4 = c 2 , or 20 + 36 = c 2 .
    ::简化后,我们得到 45+94=c2,或20+36=c2。

    Therefore, c 2 = 56 , so to find c , we must take the square root of 56.
    ::因此,C2=56,为了找到C, 我们必须以56为平方根。

    56 = 4 14 = 2 14 .

    Therefore, c = 2 14 .
    ::因此,C=214。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Simplify the following radical.
    ::简化以下激进主义。

    150

    Pull out all the square numbers.
    ::把所有的平方数字都拿出来

    150 = 25 6 = 5 6

    Alternate Method : Write out the of 150.
    ::替代方法:写出150个。

    150 = 2 3 5 5

    Now, pull out any number that has a pair. Write it once in front of the radical and multiply together what is left over under the radical.
    ::现在,拉出任何有一对的号码。 在激进分子面前写一次, 并把在激进分子之下留下的东西一起乘在一起。

    150 = 2 3 5 5 = 5 6

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Simplify the following radical.
    ::简化以下激进主义。

    2 3 6 + 96

     Simplify 96 to see if anything can be combined. We will use the alternate method above.
    ::简化 96 , 以确定是否有东西可以合并。 我们将使用上面的替代方法 。

    96 = 2 2 2 2 2 3 = 2 2 6 = 4 6

    Rewrite the expression: 2 3 6 + 4 6 = 2 3 + 3 6 . This is fully simplified. 3 and 6 cannot be combined because they do not have the same value under the radical.
    ::重写表达式: 23-6+46=23+36。 完全简化 。 3 和 6 不能合并, 因为它们在基底下没有相同的值 。

    Example 4
    ::例4

    Simplify the following radical.
    ::简化以下激进主义。

    8 20

    This problem can be done two different ways.
    ::这一问题可以采取两种不同的方式。

    First Method : Multiply radicals, then simplify the answer.
    ::第一种方法:乘以基,然后简化答案。

    8 20 = 160 = 16 10 = 4 10

    Second Method : Simplify radicals, then multiply.
    ::第二种方法: 简化基体, 然后乘以 。

    8 20 = ( 4 2 ) ( 4 5 ) = 2 2 2 5 = 2 2 2 5 = 4 10

    Depending on the complexity of the problem, either method will work. Pick whichever method you prefer.
    ::视问题的复杂性而定,两种方法都有效。选择你喜欢哪种方法。
