Notes Radical Functions
Power of a Power Property
(Power to a power you multiply)
Example:
Power of a Product Property
So pattern continues to the nth root.
So all numbers can have a nth root.
Examples The “nth Root” used n times
Find the
realnumber root
Examples The “nth Root” used n times
Find the
So I can have negative root with what types of roots?
So I will have an imaginary roots with types of roots?
Try the following using a calculator…..
Radical’s can be as a
fractional .
The value goes on the
of the fraction.
Note
An exponent can be turned into a root. Example:

In medicine, Body Surface Area BSA is used to help determine proper dosage for medications. The equation
models the relationship between BSA in square meters, the patient’s weight W in kilograms, and the patient’s height H in centimeters. Determine the height of a patient who weighs 90 kilograms and has a BSA of 2.1.
Big Ben is the nickname of a wellknown clock tower in London, England that stands 316 feet tall. The clock is driven by a 660 pound pendulum in the tower that continually swings back and forth. The relationship between the length of pendulum L in feet and the time it takes for a pendulum to swing back and forth on time, or its period T, is modeled by the equation
