Overview: Multiplication and division of radicals use the same properties as other types of multiplication. It is much easier to simplify expressions before they are used in an expression. Also,…
read moreOverview: Before many operations can be performed with expressions involving radicals, the radicals must be simplified. This ensures that they are factored so that there are no perfect square factors…
read moreOverview The root of any number is specified by the radical symbol (√). It is the inverse operation to raising a number by an exponent. Roots may be rational numbers…
read moreOverview: The probability of an event is determined by how likely that event is to happen. If an event is impossible, it has a probability of 0. If an event…
read moreOverview: Many equations use more than one variable, because there is more than one unknown in the sentence. Many times, one variable is expressed in terms of the other variable. …
read moreOverview: Quadratic equations are very common in algebra. They have the form y = ax2 + bx + c, where a is not equal to 0. The graph of a…
read moreOverview: Triangles have many different properties. For example, the sum of all three angles is always equal to 180o. The area of a triangle is equal to 1/2 times the…
read moreOverview: To solve equations with the variable on both sides, move all variables to one side or another. This can be accomplished by using the addition or subtraction principle of…
read moreOverview: Working backwards is another way to solve some math problems. If the result is given at the end of a series, follow each step until the problem is complete. …
read moreOverview Radical expressions involving square roots have many applications in algebra. If an equation calls for a variable to be squared, its solution will be a square root. The principal…
