Introduction to Radicals

Radical expressions yield roots and are the inverse of exponential expressions.

Adding, Subtracting, and Multiplying Radical Expressions

Radicals and exponents have particular requirements for addition and subtraction while multiplication is carried out more freely.

Fractions Involving Radicals

Root rationalization is a process by which any roots in the denominator of an irrational fraction are eliminated.

Imaginary Numbers

There is no such value such that when squared it results in a negative value; we therefore classify roots of negative numbers as "imaginary."
