Exponential Equation

In your own words, answer the following:
· What steps do we take when adding or subtracting radical expressions? Illustrate with an example, explaining all work. (3 pts)

· What steps do we take when multiplying or dividing radical expressions? Illustrate with an example, explaining all work. (3 pts)

· How do we simplify and rationalize the denominator when there is a radical in the denominator that does not contain a perfect square? Include an explained example. (3 pts)

· Provide a radical expression for your classmates to simplify that involves more than one step to simplify

· Review section 10.2 (p. 692) of your text. Describe two laws of exponents in your own words. For each law listed, provide an example illustrating it. Explain how to simplify each of your expressions, including both algebraic work and a narrative explanation. (Hint: Giving only the formulas will not earn full credit. An explanation in your own words must be given along with the formulas and examples.) (5 pts)

· When solving an exponential equation, how do we remove fractional exponents to isolate the variable? Illustrate with an example, explaining all work. (4 pts)

· Provide the class with an expression to simplify or an equation to solve that includes a variable base and rational (fractional) exponents. (1 pt)
