9-3 Rewriting Radical Expressions – We practiced finding square roots of whole numbers. Then we practiced finding square roots of variables with exponents. Next we practiced simplifying radical expressions with whole numbers and variables with exponents under the same radical. Then we took a quiz on Simplifying Radical Expressions. Then we moved on to multiplying radicals. We multiplied radicals under the square root and simplified the answer. 9-4 Solving Quadratic E and equations Using Square Roots – We learned that when the quadratic equation is in the form ax2 + bx = c, it can be solved by isolating the ax2 term, simplifying to remove the coefficients, and then taking the square root of each side of the equation. We practiced several of these type of problems where we take the square root and have two possible solutions. Next we reviewed completing the square to find the answers to a quadratic equation that is not able to be factored.
