Hi, sorry it took me so long to get this out!
I just didn't have the equipment to do so before, but now I do!


So lets get started...





Every time you see a root times itself, it equals to just the number that was supposed to be rooted.



For each of the following, leave the answer in SIMPLEST RADICAL FORM.

*It is easier to lump together first, then to simplify it right off the bat.

*Find the largest perfect square (the 9).

*Take out the largest perfect square and then tada! The answer is in SIMPLEST RADICAL FORM.

*Find the largest perfect squares (9 and 4).
*Take the perfect squares out of the root.



*Distributive property.
*Both 25 and 4 are perfect squares, and the two square roots of 10 can subtract from one another.





*You are able to cancel out the 4 and the square root of three if there is an adding or subtraction sign.
You can't if it is not a factor!







So, that is everything. Oh, and also the homework was Exercise #37, omitting question 11 and 18.

Um, I am not quite sure if I am supposed to tell who the next person to scribe is but I will anyway :)
It will be....... Natnele!
