Index of the radical
Positive number
Does that mean a negative
or rational index cannot
exist? Consider

A radical is in simplest form if it meets all of the
following criteria.
1. Radicand has power that is less than the index.
2. Index of radical is as small as possible.
3. Denominator is rationalized.
4. No fraction occur under the radical sign.

1. The radicand contains only
powers less than the index.

3. The denominator has been
rationalized. That is, no radicals
occur in the denominator.
Example:
𝟏/ 𝒙 is not in its
simplest form.
Rationalizing
denominator will be
introduced later.
