Recall from our work with exponents that to square a numbermeans to raise it to the second power – that is to use the numberas a factor twice.
A square root of a number is one of its two equal factors. Thus 4and -4 are both square roots of 16
n !eneral" a is a square root of b is

The s#mbol " called a radical si!n" is used to desi!nate thenonne!ati$e square root" which is called the principal squareroot. The number under the radical si!n is called the radicand"and the entire expression" such as " is referred to as a radical.

The process used to simplif# the radical in this example isreferred to as rationali2in! the denominator. There is more thanone wa# to rationali2e the denominator" as illustrated b# the nextexample.
