Algebra 2 TEST 7.1–7.5PRACTICE : 

Algebra 2 TEST 7.1–7.5PRACTICE Solutions!

1 : 

1 Find all the real-number roots. Note: There are two square roots of 0.16, namely 0.4 and –0.4. However, the radical sign is the principle root—the positive root whenever there is a choice!

2 : 

2 Find all the real-number roots. No real solution. Neither a positive number squared nor a negative number squared gives a negative. There is no real number root to a negative number like –81.

3 : 

3 Find all the real-number roots. On your calculator type:

4 : 

4 Simplify each radical expression. Use absolute value symbols if needed. Note: If a radical has an even index (here 4) then the absolute value bars are needed. However, since both 2 and a2 are always positive, they may be removed from the absolute value bars.

5 : 

5 Simplify each radical expression. Use absolute value symbols if needed. Note: Cube roots have only one answer. There is no need to choose between a positive and a negative value. Therefore, no absolute value bars should be used here.

6 : 

6 Simplify each radical expression. Use absolute value symbols if needed.

7 : 

7 Multiply and simplify if possible.

8 : 

8 Multiply and simplify if possible. There are no real number square roots of a negative number (here –6). This problem has no real number solution.

9 : 

9 Multiply and simplify if possible.

10 : 

10 Multiply.

11 : 

11 Multiply.

12 : 

12 Multiply. Note: Usually we would FOIL the first line. With conjugates the outside and inside terms always cancel. FOIL reduces to simply FL.

13 : 

13 Simplify. Assume that all variables are positive.

14 : 

14 Simplify. Assume that all variables are positive. Note: If we “assume that the variables are positive” then absolute value bars are not needed.

15 : 

15 Multiply and simplify. Assume that all variables are positive.

16 : 

16 Multiply and simplify. Assume that all variables are positive.

17 : 

17 Divide and simplify.

18 : 

18 Divide and simplify.

19 : 

19 Divide and simplify. Assume that all variable are positive.

20 : 

20 Divide and simplify. Assume that all variable are positive.

21 : 

21 Rationalize the denominator of the expression. Assume that all variables are positive. Comment: This is a killer problem!

22 : 

22 Rationalize the denominator of the expression. Assume that all variables are positive.

23 : 

23 Rationalize the denominator of the expression. Assume that all variables are positive. Note: FOIL on top; FL on bottom!

24 : 

24 Add or subtract if possible. Simplify all answers.

25 : 

25 Add or subtract if possible. Simplify all answers. Note: This problem cannot be simplified any further. The radicands are different.

26 : 

26 Add or subtract if possible. Simplify all answers.

27 : 

27 Simplify.

28 : 

28 Simplify.

29 : 

29 Simplify.

30 : 

30 Simplify.

31 : 

31 Write the following in radical form.

32 : 

32 Write the following in radical form.

33 : 

33 Write in simplest form.

34 : 

34 Solve and check for extraneous roots.

35 (method 1) : 

35 (method 1) Solve and check for extraneous roots. Note: Both answers check!

35 (method 2) : 

35 (method 2) Solve and check for extraneous roots. Note: Both answers check!

36 : 

36 Solve and check for extraneous roots. Note: –6 fails in the original. Extraneous!
