The process for this problem is much like the previous
practice tile, but there is one twist here. Remember that, for odd valued roots (like
cube or fifth roots) the process is the same, but for even roots you have to worry
about absolute values when you pull out a factor. The rule of thumb is to apply
absolute values to anything you pull out of an even radical when you are
simplifying, and then justify whether or not you can remove those absolute
values on a term by term basis (for example, numbers don’t need absolute
values because you can calculate the absolute value of a constant. Even
powered terms outside also don’t need absolute values because they are already
being raised to an even power and thus must become positive anyway).
1 : Simplify the following type one radical. Notice that the root symbol is
already supplied for you so you only need to supply the inside and outside functions
(no need to expand them!)
