§9.2 Calculating with square roots
Off we go!
Slide 1 - Slide
Square roots ... You've met these ruddy fellas many times before.
In this lesson old and new are mingled ...

Slide 3 - Slide
The rules for x and : with roots.
Some questions come up, now.
Slide 4 - Slide
B. Simplifying roots (2nd form stuff),
but that's been a long time ...
x
x
So you rewrite a root as:
a multiplication of 2 roots, so that
one of them comes out! In the examples:
!! Take the greatest 'outcoming' root there is !!

Just like in Class,
if you have at least a 7.5 ON AVERAGE for MATH,
you may choose to leave now and work out §9.2 for yourself!
The reasons I did not offer you this possibility are:
+ in the present situation it brings us a bit closer doing sth. together
+ we only have one meet per week, most of the time
+ to be honest I like it very much having you all in the Lesson,
+ because you are a fine class, made out of fine individuals
+ still I can imagine some of you prefer now to do it by themselves
+ at least watch the following subtle root joke
Slide 9 - Slide
Slide 10 - Slide
so, pupils from C3X, with marks higher than 7.5 :
Mette, Milou, Ruby, Remco, Julie, Jochem and Ferry,
if you like to,
leave the LessonUp and do §9.2 by yourself now.
Bye!
Slide 11 - Slide
so, pupils from G3X, with marks higher than 7.5 :
Koen, Arul, Lieve, Soraya, Ids, Ymme, Paul, Alex, Mats, Faith,
and Doris,
If you like, leave this LessonUp now and do
§9.2 by yourself.
Bye!
Slide 12 - Slide
Now a more difficult one ...
Simplify
in 'the best way'.
(Decide for youself what is the best way!)
Key in your answer in the next slide again.

Slide 13 - Slide
Question 2:
How to simplify root 72 ?
Slide 14 - Mind map
Solution Question 2:
= x = 6 x
So ' the best way' is with the greatest root that comes out!
Also possible is: = x = 3 x ,
but then has to be worked out further,
and finally you get the same result!

Question 3: What is the 'new thing' in the Theory below?
I thought we already talked about x and : with roots?!
Slide 16 - Slide
What's new?!
Slide 17 - Mind map
Solution 3:
The principal new thing is that LETTERS in stead of NUMBERS are used!
But the same rules apply.
