How about the word add to cart? Add on?

Have you experienced buying some stuffs or

food online?

It’s a trend worldwide, shoppers find it more

convenient, just brows and buy whatever you
need, it saves time and it’s safer than going
outside.

The concept of ordering or buying online is the application of addition and

subtraction.

Guide Questions:

a. What do you observe in the radicands and indices of each item?

b. If they have the same radicand and indices, then how do we simplify
them?
c. What operations are involved in simplifying the same radicand and
indices?

Similar radicals or like radicals are radicals of the same order and
same radicand. These radicals can be combined into a single radical.
We can combine like radicals by adding or subtracting the
coefficients and annexing their common radical.

A. Dissimilar Radicals
3 3
1. 12 √6 + 3√3 - 5 √6

2. √𝑥 - 2√𝑥 + 3√𝑦

3. √32𝑎 + 7√12𝑎 +√98𝑎

4. 7√100𝑥 2 𝑦 - √144𝑥 2 𝑦 - 5√𝑥 2 𝑦

5. 5√2 + 3√32

Remember if the radical in radical expressions is not in simplest

form, you need to simplify it first before simplifying the expressions.
Only similar radicals can be added or subtracted.

What you need to know if the carpet will fit in your

What mathematical concept is needed to apply to

solve your problem?

What is
It
A. Multiplying Radicals of the Same Order.

Example:
1. √6 • √12 = √(6)(12) Product property of square roots
= √72 Multiply the radicands
= √36 • 2 Factor the radicand to get the
greatest perfect square factor.
= 6√2

2. √2𝑥𝑦 2 •√4𝑥 2 𝑦 = √(2)(4)(𝑥)(𝑥 2 )(𝑦 2 )(𝑦) Product property of

3. √50𝑥𝑦 2 •√10𝑥 2 𝑦 •√20𝑥 2 𝑦 2 =√(50)(10)(20)(𝑥)(𝑥 2 )(𝑥 2 )(𝑦 2 )(𝑦)(𝑦 2 )

=√10,000𝑥 5 𝑦 5
=10𝑥 2 𝑦 2 √𝑥𝑦

10

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 Remember: To multiply radicals on the same order,
𝒏 𝒏 𝒏
Use the Product Property of Square Root √𝒂𝒃 = √𝒂 • √𝒃 then simplify by
removing the perfect nth powers from the radicand.

B. Multiplying Binomials Involving Radicals

Examples:
1. √𝑥 (5 − √𝑥 ) = (√𝑥 )(5) - (√𝑥)(√𝑥) Distributive property
=15√𝑥 - √𝑥 2 Product property of
square roots
= 15√𝑥 − 𝑥

2. (√𝑥 + 6√5)(√𝑥 − 6)
= (√𝑥)(√𝑥) + (√𝑥)(−6) + (6√5)(√𝑥) - (6√𝑥)(6)
the product of two binomials /
= √𝑥 2 - 6√𝑥 + 6√5𝑥 - 36√𝑥 use FOIL method
simplify
= 𝑥 − 6√𝑥 + 6√5𝑥 − 36√𝑥
2
3. (2√2𝑝 − 3) = (2√2𝑝 − 3)(2√2𝑝 − 3)

= (2√2𝑝)(2√2𝑝) − (2√2𝑝)(3) − (3)(2√2𝑝) + (3)(3)

= 4√4𝑝2 - 6√2𝑝 - 6√2𝑝 + 9
= 4(2p) - 12√2𝑝 + 9
= 8p -12√2𝑝 + 9

4. (√𝑥 + √6)(√𝑥 − √6)

= (√𝑥)(√𝑥) − (√𝑥)(√6) + (√6)(√𝑥) − (√6)(√6)
= √𝑥 2 - √6𝑥 + √6𝑥 - √36
=𝑥−6

Remember:
To multiply binomials involving radicals,
Use the property for the product of two binomials.
(𝑎 ± 𝑏)(𝑐 ± 𝑑 ) = 𝑎𝑐 (𝑎𝑑 ± 𝑏𝑐 ) ± 𝑏𝑑 , then simplify by removing
perfect nth power from the radicand or by combining similar radicals.
