Two radical expression are called like term if they have the same degree and the same A.radicands B. NumberC Radicals D denominator E term

Answer 1

Let's complete the given statement to determine why two radical expressions are called like terms.

A radical expression can be said to be an expression with a square root.

When two radical expressions are called like terms, they must have the same degrees and the same radicands.

We have two radical expressions with like terms below:

`\begin{gathered} √(10^3)\text{ }and\text{ }√(20^3) \\ \\ \sqrt[3]{10x^6}\text{ and }\sqrt[3]{7x^6} \end{gathered}`

We can see the two radical expressions have the same degree and radicands.

Hence, they are like terms, they can be added and subtracted.

Therefore, two radical expressions are called like terms if they have the same degree and the same radicands.

ANSWER:

A. Radicands
