why is it important to simplify radical expressions before adding or subtracting?

Holla guys and gals! Recently I hired a private tutor to help me with some topics in math. My problem areas included topics such as why is it important to simplify radical expressions before adding or subtracting? and function composition. Now that teacher turned out to be such a waste, that instead of helping me now I’m even more confused than I used to be. I still can’t crack problems on those topics. And the exam time is nearing. I need someone to help me out. Is there anything significant that can be done to get some sort of help? I have a good set of questions to help me learn these topics, but the problem is I just can’t solve them, no matter how much I try. Please help!

Haha! absences are quite troublesome especially when you failed to learn an important topic like why is it important to simplify radical expressions before adding or subtracting? that is really quite complicated. Have you tried using Algebrator before? As of now, this is what I can advice you to do: try that program and you’ll have no trouble understanding why is it important to simplify radical expressions before adding or subtracting?. It’s very useful to use because it does not only solve math problems but it does explains by giving a detailed solution. Believe it or not, it made my exam grades improve significantly because of this program. I just want to share this because I’m thrilled with the program’s brilliance.

1.Hey mate, you are on the mark about Algebrator! It is absolutely fab! I downloaded it recently from http://www.graph-inequality.com/using-matlab-to-solve-linear-inequalities.html after a acquaintance recommended it to me. Now, all I do is type in the problem from my text book and click on Solve. Bingo! I get a step-by-step solution to my algebra homework. It’s almost like a tutor is explaining it to you. I have been using it for two weeks and so far, haven’t come across any problem that Algebrator can’t solve. I have learnt so much from it!

I remember having often faced difficulties with radical equations, trigonometry and side-angle-side similarity. A really great piece of math program is Algebrator software. By simply typing in a problem from workbook a step by step solution would appear by a click on Solve. I have used it through many math classes – Algebra 1, Basic Math and Basic Math. I greatly recommend the program.
