Day 1: Simplifying nth Roots, Operations, and Rationalizing
Today we will learn how to simplify nth roots so that we can later apply that knowledge to solve power equations.
Getting to know rational exponents:
Practice: Rewrite the following. If it is written in exponential notation, rewrite in radical notation; if it is written in radical notation, rewrite in exponential notation –
1. 2. 3.
4. 5. 6.
Let’s fill in these tables together to better help us simplify square roots, cube roots and 4th roots: 12 =
22 = 32 = 42 = 52 = 62 = 72 = 82 = 92 = 102 =
112 =
122 = 132 = 142 = 152 = 162 = 172 = 182 = 192 = 202 =
13 =
23 = 33 = 43 = 53 = 63 = 73 = 83 = 93 = 103 =
14 = 24 = 34 = 44 = 54 =
15 = 25 = 35 =

Write ( )53 64 in exponential notation
Write 3 9x in exponential notation
Though we will start out using the calculator to help us simplify radicals, eventually there will be a no calculator section on tests – start memorizing and recognizing perfect squares and cubes Based on the tables we filled in on the previous page, evaluate the following.
1. −100 =
2. −83 =
3. −81 =
4. −273 =
5. −25 =
6. −1253 =
7. −16 =
8. −325 =
Discuss: Why can we cube root a negative number, but not square root it? Let’s evaluate these expressions without a calculator.

Operations with Radicals: Addition and Subtraction: Remember – the “radicands” (numbers under the radical) AND the “index” (root) must match!

Multiplication & Division: For multiplication & division, “radicands” do not need to match – just indexes (same root)!

Day 2: Solving Power & Radical Equations
Today we will learn how to solve power & radical equations Using what we learned last class about simplifying radicals and
What we already know about solving linear & quadratic equations!
Solving power equations: A power equation is an equation that involves a variable raised to a power.
1. Isolate the exponent / power. 2. Take the nth root. 3. Check all solutions by plugging them back into the original equation for x
Recall from quadratics…the square root method: (x + 3) 2 = 64
3 (x – 5)2 = - 27
Whenever we solve by square rooting a number, we must put a ______ in front! This is true for ALL even roots (ie: 4th root, 6th root), but NOT true for odd roots. Why is this? ( - 2) 3 vs. ( 2 ) 3 ( - 2) 2 vs. ( 2 ) 2
Examples: x3 = 8 x3 = – 8 x2 = – 8 x2 = 8 When solving, we must follow the reverse order of operations. 1. Add or subtract 2. Multiply or divide 3. Exponents 4. Parentheses (follow same order) 2x4 = 162
(x – 2) 3 = -125
6x3 = 384
(x – 3) 4 = 625
31 24
x = −
x4 = 32
2x3 = x3 + 54
(x + 1) 5 = 100
(x – 1)5 – 3 = –35
2(x – 9)3 = 250
Solving radical equations: A radical equation is an equation with a variable in the “radicand” (under the radical).
1. Isolate the radical on one side of the equation 2. Raise each side of the equation (not each term) to the power that would eliminate the radical.
You will be left with a linear, quadratic, or other polynomial equation to solve. 3. Solve the remaining equation (using knowledge from previous units) 4. Check all solutions – There may be extraneous solutions!
2 4 8x+ =
6 1 9 16x+ + =
2 6 83
x + =
5 7 3 3x x− = +
How to check for extraneous solutions: 1. Take solution(s), x = 2. Plug solution into ORIGINAL equation. See if the statement is TRUE.
3 2 1 3x + =
3 5 1 2 2x − − =
34 5 13 3x − − =
4 5 2x − =
7 15 1x x+ = +
21 1 5x x+ = +

Day 4: Inverse Functions In these notes we will learn what an inverse function is and how to find it algebraically.
Recall from Unit 2: Inverse functions map output values back to their original input values. (switch x, or input, & y, or output, values in ordered pairs) Graph both functions. What is their relationship? __________________________ 1. 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = 𝑥𝑥2, but limit the domain x > 0 𝑔𝑔(𝑥𝑥) = √𝑥𝑥
Ordered pairs: 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = 𝑥𝑥2 𝑔𝑔(𝑥𝑥) = √𝑥𝑥
We saw graphically that the functions are inverses because…. 1. In the ordered pairs, _____ and ______ were switched. 2. The graphs were reflected across _______
Verifying that Functions are Inverses of each other: 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = 𝑥𝑥2 and 𝑔𝑔(𝑥𝑥) = √𝑥𝑥 Show that f(g(x)) = x AND g(f(x)) = x
Verify algebraically that f(x) = 4x + 2 and g(x) = 1 14 2
x − are inverses of each other.
Show that f(g(x)) = x AND Show that g(f(x)) = x
Finding an Inverse Relation from an equation 1. Switch x and y in equation 2. Solve for y. 1. y = 4x + 2
2. f(x) = -2x + 5 Substitute y for f(x) before you start!
3. f(x) = x2 + 2 , x ≥ 0

Day 5: Graphing Square & Cube Root Functions
In these notes we will ANALYZE the graphs of Square Root and Cube Root Functions The Square Root Function: The “parent function” is y x= Let’s look at the table of values using our calculator: x y = √𝑥𝑥
** You can always get “nice” values off the table
X-intercept: Y-intercept: Domain: Range:
Increasing: Decreasing:
The Cube Root Function: The “parent function” is 3y x= Let’s look at the table of values using our calculator: x y = √𝑥𝑥
X-intercept: Y-intercept: Domain: Range:
Increasing: Decreasing:
“Vertex”, (h, k) at _______ From the vertex… Over ______, up ______ Over ______, up ______
“Vertex”, (h, k) at _______ From the vertex… Right ______, up ______ Right ______, up ______ AND Left ______, down ______ Left ______, down ______
These two functions have the same transformations as…
absolute value function, y = a|x – h| + k , quadratic function, y = a (x – h)2 + k
and the cubic function, y = a (x – h)3 + k
if 1a >
Vertically Stretched by a factor of a (ignore negative)
if 1a <
Vertically Shrunk by a factor of a
If a < 0 (a is negative) Vertical flip
reflected across x-axis
(h, k): Translates the graph horizontally h units and vertically k units
Remember, think ___________ when C is with the x (horizontal shift), and ________ when C is outside (vertical shift)
Transformations of Square Root Function: Remember, over _____, up _____; over _____, up _____.
( ) 2h x x= + (h,k): _________
x y
( ) 2h x x= − + (h,k): _________
x y
When you are completing the table of values with SQUARE ROOT FUNCTIONS…you will have x-values on ONE side of the initial point (h,k)…not both, like other graphs so far!

When you are completing the table of values with CUBE ROOT FUNCTIONS…you will have x-values on BOTH sides of the initial point (h,k)! (So put (h, k) in the middle of your table !)
Domain Restrictions based on an equation: 1. Dividing by zero is undefined: a denominator can NEVER be equal to zero.
(We will discuss this later on in Unit 7) 2. The square root of a negative number does not exist - When it comes to graphing, we NEVER put a negative number under a square root (unless we are dealing in complex numbers). Domain Restrictions - Case #2 above: No Negatives Under the Radical Sign!!
x ≥ ____ Notice the inequality! Or Equal to 0 (because we can square root 0!)
Do you have a square root? Do you have a rational power with a denominator of 2?
(If not, then you don’t have to worry about this restriction!)

For example: Solve algebraically:
Solve graphically: This means:
where does the graph of cross ?

Even though we found a solution algebraically, the solution was extraneous. Why?
