Add and Subtract Radicals Like Radicals and Unlike Radicals • Like radicals are radicals having the same radicand and index. • Unlike radicals are radicals differing in either the radicand or the index. Examples of Like Radicals Examples of Unlike Radicals
Adding & Subtracting • Simplify each radical expression. • Combine like radicals (if there are any). To Add or Subtract Radicals Example
CAUTION! The product rule does not apply to addition or subtraction!
Multiply Radicals Example: Multiply and simplify. Product rule for radicals. 16x8 is a perfect square.
