- 8. Rational Exponents andRadicals 8 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.
- 9. Rational Exponents andRadicals 9 1. The radicand contains only powers less than the index. Example: 𝒙𝟓 𝒙 𝟓 𝟐 𝒙 𝟒 𝟐 ∙ 𝒙 𝟏 𝟐 𝒙𝟐 ∙ 𝒙 𝟏 𝟐 𝒙𝟐 𝒙
