    This document discusses various topics relating to radical expressions: 1) Simplifying radical expressions using properties such as √√n = √n for even n. 2) Rationalizing denominators by multiplying the radical by its conjugate over itself. 3) Finding the conjugate of a radical to rationalize expressions. 4) Using the difference of squares identity (a - b)(a + b) to simplify expressions. 5) Continuing to rationalize denominators and numerators of fractions using conjugates of radicals. 6) Deriving equivalent expressions when rationalizing involves restrictions on domains.
