To simplify a radical expression, rewrite the radicand using its factors.

If a = b ⋅ c Then a = b⋅c

Now rewrite each factor in its own radical. a = b⋅ c

(Either b or c should be perfect square numbers.)

Example: Simplify 32

32 = 16 ⋅ 2

32 = 16 ⋅ 2

32 = 4 2 (exact value)

32 ≈ 5.66 (approximate value)

1) Simplify 12

2) Simplify 48

3) Simplify 75

4) Simplify 125

5) The x-intercept of Line 1 is 5 and the y-intercept is 3. Line 2 passes through points (1, 2) and ( − 2, − 3) .
Determine if Line 1 and Line 2 are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Explain.
