9. Real nth Roots

10. Finding nth Roots • Find the indicated real nth root(s) of a • n = 2, a = 16 • n is even, and a > 0; therefore, a has two real nth roots • √16 • √16 = ±4

11. Example 2 • n = 3, a = -1 • n is odd; therefore, a has one real nth root • Hint: What to the power of 3 is -1?

12. Example 3 • n = 4, a = -16 • n is even, but a is negative. How many real nth roots?

13. Try These • n = 3, a = 125 • n = 3, a = 0 • n = 2, a = 49 • 5 • 0 • 7

14. Rational Exponents • Keep in mind: Rational exponents do not have to be in the form of 1/n. Other rational numbers can be used as exponents as well!

18. Solving Equations • Example 1 • - 5x2 = -30 • x2 = 6 • x = ±√6 • Use a calculator to round the result • x ≈ ±2.45

19. Example 2 • (x + 4)3 = 27 • x + 4 = 3 (Take the cube root of both sides) • x = -1

32. Simplest Form • For a radical to be in simplest form, you must apply the properties of radicals, remove any perfect nth powers (other than 1) and rationalize any denominators. • Two radical expressions are like radicals if they have the same index and the same radicand.

43. The function f(x) = 70x3/4… • …models the number of calories per day, f(x), a person needs to maintain life in terms of that person's weight, x, in kilograms. (1 kilogram is approximately 2.2 pounds.) Use this model and a calculator to solve.Round answers to the nearest calorie. • How many calories per day does a person who weighs 80 kilograms (approximately 176 pounds) need to maintain life?70 kilograms (approximately 154 pounds)?

44. Operating Radicals

45. Challenge • Solve the equation

46. Chapter 7.3Operations on Functions • Addition: h(x) = f(x) + g(x) • Subtraction: h(x) = f(x) – g(x) • Multiplication: h(x) = f(x)*g(x) or f(x)g(x) • Division: h(x) = f(x)/g(x) or f(x) ÷ g(x) • Composition h(x) = f(g(x)) OR g(f(x))

47. Power Functions • y = axb • Where a is a real number and b is a rational number • Note, when b is a positive integer, a power function is simply a type of polynomial function

48. Note The rules for thedomainof functions would apply to these combinations of functions as well. The domain of the sum, difference or product would be the numbers x in the domains of both f and g. For the quotient, you would also need to exclude any numbers x that would make the resulting denominator 0.

49. Addition Example • f(x) = 3x + 8; g(x) = 2x – 12 • (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = (3x + 8) + (2x – 12) • What like terms do we have? Combine them and then we have our new function. • (f + g)(x) = 5x - 4

50. Subtraction Example • f(x) = 5x2 – 4x; g(x) = 5x + 1 • (f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x) = (5x2 – 4x) – (5x + 1) • What like terms do we have? Combine them and then we have our new function. • Be careful that you know you are subtracting the whole function g(x) • (f – g)(x) = 5x2 – 9x – 1
