Question

How do I do Radicals?

Answer 1

For online calculators you can type sqrt() or just sqrt and it will do it for you

Answer 2

See below

Explanation:

To simplify radicals that are not perfect squares, we need a new method.

Example:
`√(27)`

27 is not a perfect square square the square root cannot be used.

`√(27) = 5.19615242271`

To solve this, we need to break down the radical into simpler parts.

`√(27) = √(3) * √(9)`

`√(9) = 3`

`√(3)` cannot be simplified

`√(27)` = 3
`√(3)`

Good luck on your test!
