Simplifying Radicals with Imaginary Numbers Maze Activity
Students will simplify 13 radicals which include negative coefficients, negative radicands and imaginary numbers. This resource allows for student self-checking and works well as independent work, homework assignment, or even to leave with a substitute to review the concept.
ANSWER KEY provided!
*Please note that some reviews below indicate that the answer key is incorrect. The answers in the answer key are correct. The concept of imaginary numbers is typically an Algebra 2 concept. Algebra 1 students may find this challenging. When multiplying radicals with negative radicands, factor out the radical of -1 and use i (imaginary number). When the radicands are negative they cannot be multiplied together to equal a positive radicand. Several of these problems require factoring out i from both radicals resulting in i^2 which equals -1.
