Vocabulary
counter example - an example that proves that a general statement is not true
radical expression - an expression that contains a radical
simplest form of a radical - a radical that has no radicands with perfect nth powers as factors other than 1, no radicands that contain fractions and no radicals that appear in the denominator of a fraction
rationalizing the denominator - to eliminate a radical from the denominator of a fraction by multiplying by an appropriate form of 1
