For instance in, FINANCIAL PLANNING

A financial planner has been asked to determine the inflation rate
for homes.
To calculate the inflation of homes that increases from p1 to p2 over
n years, the annual rate of inflation (expressed as a decimal) can
be modeled as:
I = ( p2/p1) 1/n -1

In MEDICINE,
Doctors can approximate the Body Surface Area of an adult (in

In Geology/Meteorology/Oceanography

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center is responsible for

monitoring earthquakes that could potentially cause tsunamis in
the Pacific Ocean. Through measuring the water level and
calculating the speed of a tsunami, scientists can predict arrival
times of tsunamis.
The speed (in meters per second) at which a tsunami moves is
determined by the depth d (in meters) of the ocean:
s = √ g• d
in which g is acceleration due to
gravity, which is 9.8 meters per square second

In Supply Chain Management/Business

• You are a purchasing manager for a medical device company.

• You are responsible for directing the way the company buys,
stores, and sells supplies to other companies.
• You want to reduce the company’s warehousing costs by
ordering the supplies needed to produce the medical devices
just in time to use them.
In order to determine the most economic order quantity E for
parts used in production of the medical devices, you need to
use the following formula:

E = √ 2• A •S / I

Where A is the quantity the plant will use in one

year, S is the cost of setup for making the device and I is the
cost of holding one unit in stock for one year

Examples. Simplify using exponent properties, and express answers using

positive exponents.
1. (3a5)(2a-3 = ( 3 • 5) ( a5 • a-3 ) = 6a2

2. 6x-2 / 8x-5 = 3x-2-(-5) / = 3x3 / 4

3. -4y3 – (-4y)3 = -4y3 – (-4)3 • y3

= -4y3 + 64y3
= 60y3
By “simplify” we mean eliminating common factors from numerators and
denominators and reducing the number of times a given constant or variable
appears in an expression. We ask that answers be expressed using positive
exponents only in order to have a definite form for an answer. Later, we will
encounter situations where we will want negative exponents in a final answer.

If all exponent properties are to continue to hold even if some of the

exponents are rational numbers then,

( 51/3)3 = 53/3 = 5 and ( 71/2)2 = 72/2 = 7

Since, the number of Real nth roots of a real numbers b states that:

n even n odd
b positive Two real nth roots One real nth root
-3 and 3 are both fourth 2 is the only real cube root
roots of 81 of 8
b negative No real nth root One real nth root
-9 has no real roots -2 is the only real cube root
of -8

Then the number 5 has one real cube root, it seems reasonable to use the
symbol

51/3 to represent this root. On the other hand, it also states that 7 has two

real square roots. Which real square root of 71/2 does

represent? We answer this question in the following definition:

Definition b1/n , Principal nth Root

For n a natural number and b a real number, b1/n is the principal nth root of b defined as
follows:
1. If n is even and b is positive, then b1/n represent the positive nth root of b.
2. If n is even and b is negative, then b1/n does not represent a real number.
3. If n is odd, then b1/n represents the real nth root of b.
4. 01/n = 0
A number or an expression is a perfect square if it can be expressed as product of
two same rational numbers or expressions.
Examples:
1. 4 is a perfect square because it can be expressed as product of two same rational
numbers 2 • 2 = 4 or (2)(2) = 4
2. The number (2)(2) = 4 is a perfect square because
(4/6) (4/6) = 16/36 or (-4/6) (-4/6) = 16/36
3. The expression 25x2 is a perfect square because it can be expressed as product of
two same rational expressions.

5x • 5x = 25x2 or = (-5x) (-5x) = 25x2

A number or an expression is a perfect cube if it can be expressed as product of
three same rational numbers or expressions.
Examples:
1. 8 is a perfect cube because it can be expressed as product of three same rational
numbers.
2•2•2=8
2. The number -27/64 is a perfect cube because

(-3/4) (-3/4) (-3/4) = -27/64

3. The expression 8x3y3 is a perfect cube because it can be expressed as product
of three same rational expressions.
2xy • 2xy • 2xy = 8x3y3
ACTIVITY 7: LET’S FIND OUT!

cubes? Explain or justify your answer. Put a check mark on the space provided.

Multiplying Radicals
In the process of multiplying radicals, there are three cases to be considered.
a. when indices are the same. Multiply radicals and apply
Simplify the resulting radicand when necessary.
b. when indices are different but radicands are the same. Apply the following
steps:
1.Transform the radical to fractional exponents.
2. Multiply the powers by applying: xm ꞏ xn= xm+n (law of exponents)
3. Rewrite the product as a single radical.
4. Simplify the resulting radicand if necessary.

Dividing Radicals

one is simplifying by rationalization of denominators. See the examples and apply
them in the exercise that follows.
Examples:

RADICAL EQUATION
Now let’s learn about radical equations:
A radical equation is an equation in which an unknown letter/variable
occurs under a radical sign, or with a fractional exponent.
lf an equation that contains a square root, cube root, or nth root radical, the
following procedures could be followed.
1. Isolate the radical from the other terms of the equation.
2. Raise both sides of the resulting equation to a number equal to the
index of the radical.

expressions Example:

1. √x – 2 = 5
√x = 7
(√ x ¿ 2 = (7)2
x = 49

2. √ x+ 4 - 2 = 5
√ x+ 4 = 5 + 2
√ x+ 4 = 7
(√ x+ 4 ¿ 2 = (7)2
x + 4 = 49
x = 49 – 4
x = 45

3. √ 3 x+ 4 / 2 = 5
(2)(√ 3 x + 4) / 2 = 2(5)
¿ )2 = (10)2
3 x+ 4 = 100
3x = 100 – 4
3x = 96
x = 32

TRANSFER

Transfer Task Narrative

Hang time is defined as the time that you are in the air when you jump, it can be
calculated using the formula t = √ 2 h / g, where his height is in feet, t is time in
seconds and g is the gravity given as 32ft/sec2. Your school newspaper is to release its
edition for this month. As a writer/ researcher of the sports column, you were task to
create a feature regarding the hang time of your school’s basketball team members.
Your output shall be presented to the newspaper adviser and chief editor and will be
evaluated according to the mathematical concepts used, organization of report,
accuracy of computations, and practicality of your suggested game plan based on the
result of your research.

Performance Task (GRASPS)

GOAL – to create feature regarding the hang time of your school’s basketball team
ROLE– Writer/Researcher
AUDIENCE – Newspaper adviser and Chief Editor
SITUATION – to release the first edition of the newspaper this month
