This module is from Elementary Algebra by Denny Burzynski and Wade Ellis, Jr.
The distinction between the principal square root of the number x and the secondary square root of the number x is made by explanation and by example. The simplification of the radical expressions that both involve and do not involve fractions is shown in many detailed examples; this is followed by an explanation of how and why radicals are eliminated from the denominator of a radical expression. Real-life applications of radical equations have been included, such as problems involving daily output, daily sales, electronic resonance frequency, and kinetic energy.This module contains the proficiency exam for the chapter "Roots, Radicals, and Square Root Equations".
