how to solve problems in addition to subtraction in radical form in squareroot of 26
Answer (1)
You can only add/subtract radicals if they have the same radicand (the number inside the √).Example: √26 + √26 = 2√26If the radicands are different, you can't combine them.Example: √26 + √5 = stays as √26 + √5To simplify radicals, factor them if possible.Example: √18 = √(9×2) = 3√2But √26 is already in simplest form (no perfect square factor), so it stays as √26.Sample Problem on Radicals√26 + √26 = 2√26√26 − √26 = 0
