Reduction of Radicals to the same Index

protection click fraud

Radical multiplications and divisions must occur when the root indices are equal. In this occurrence, we must repeat the radical and multiply the radicands. Let's remember the elements of a radical:

n: index
x: rooting
y: exponent of the radicand

Let's go through examples, determine the practical way to reduce to the same index.
Example 1

Let's multiply the index of the 1st radical by the value of the index of the 2nd radical and vice versa, introducing the multiplier term as an exponent of the radicand. Watch:


Example 2


Example 3

Example 4

These techniques are used in situations in which the calculations shown are represented by elements linked to radicals. For example, 2nd degree equations have a part involving roots, so at some point we must use such techniques to obtain the result.
