Topic
Rationals and Radicals
Description
Simplifying a Radical Expression involves using the properties of exponents and radicals to simplify a given radical expression. The example simplifies (-6 ± √(62 - 4 * 2 * 2)) / (2 * 2) to its final form (-3 + √5) / 2, showing how radicals and square roots are handled algebraically. This term relates to the broader topic by providing a foundation for working with radicals, an essential concept in fraction operations involving roots.
