Bittinger/Ellenbogen: Intermediate Algebra

Chapter 7:

  Exponents and Radicals




  Chapter 7 of Intermediate Algebra presents working with exponents and radicals. There are many examples of the multiplication and division of radical expressions, as well as solving radical equations, complex numbers, and geometric applications. One such geometric application is the construction of a new cottage roof, and the number of shingles needed to complete the job.
