  1. Radicals Adding & Subtracting

  2. Adding Radicals • First, simplify each radical in the equation • Write the number in terms of its prime factors • Circle the pairs • Take one number “out” of the radical for each pair • Multiply this number by any other number outside the radical sign • Example:

  3. Adding Radicals • Second, add “like” terms • In order for a radical to be considered a “like term” it must have exactly the same number inside. • Examples: Like Terms: Not Like Terms:

  4. Imaginary “1” • If a radical does not have a number in front of it, then it is really a 1. It may help you to write the number 1 in front of the radical when you add and subtract. • Example:

  5. Combining color blobs • Just like variables that are different letters, radicals with different numbers are completely different and can’t be combined. • Just like we can’t add we can’t combine because they are totally different numbers. Think of them as colored blobs: Let

  6. Example: • Using our colored blobs, that’s just: • 2 + 3 • Which is the same as • + = • 2 + 3 = 5 SO:

  7. Example: • Using our colored blobs, that’s just: • 2 + 3 • Which is the same as • + = • 2 + 3 = can’t simplify any further! SO:

  8. TRY THIS: • Using our colored blobs, that’s just: • 2 + 3 + 1 + 5 • Which is the same as • + =

  9. TRY THIS: • Using our colored blobs, that’s just: • 2 + 3 + 1 + 5 • Which is the same as • + = • 4 + 8 = can’t simplify any further! SO:
