Bellwork reviewed Simplifying the sum and difference of radical expressions and the product of two binomial radical expressions.

The remainder of the period we continued discussing Sec 7-3.  We discussed how to simplify the square of a binomial radical expression and the product of binomial radical conjugates.  We also began discussing how to rationalize an expression whose denominator is a binomial radical expression.

Hwk #6 is due tomorrow.  Sec 7-3

Bellwork had students rationalize denominators of radical expressions.

Hwk #5 is due today.

The remainder of the period we began discussing Sec 7-3, Binomial Radical expressions.  We started by simplifying the sum and difference of several radical expressions, then we moved on to multiplying radical expressions.

Hwk #6.  due date is still to be determined.  Sec 7-3
