 | Ok, Radicals are numbers, formatted into an equation, that help solve complex ideas. These radicals, which need to be simplified, follow three rules. Can you guess what they are? | |
|
| Hmm... A radicand can't have a perfect square number other than one, can't contain a fraction and there shouldn't be a radical in the denominator? | |

| Wow.. text book answer- it almost seems like you have had this conversation before. How did you know that? | |
|
| I read the textbook earlier... | |

|
| Right, so that means you know all about this- care to expand? | |
|
| Well, using radicals, you can also find the minimum or maximum of a quadratic function, using three processes- Completing the square, using the quadratic forumula and factoring- and all of them, except for factoring, will always work to help you find the point needed for the X-intercept. | |
