Lesson 24: Roots and Radicals

Exponential notation for \(n\)th roots and radicals is introduced. A short discussion about \(n\)th roots and irrational numbers follows before symbolic manipulation of fractional exponents and solving equations is presented. Power functions and solving radical equations are presented before the lesson concludes with roots of negative numbers.
