Topic
Rationals and Radicals
Description
The conjugate of a radical is a factor that eliminates radicals in an expression. For example, the conjugate of √2 is √2, and the conjugate of (1 + √2) is (1 - √2), leading to simplified results like 1 - 2 = -1. Conjugates are used to rationalize denominators and simplify expressions involving radicals.
Understanding this video is essential for grasping the fundamentals of Rationals and Radicals. The mathematical concepts explored here form the basis for further exploration and application in related fields.
