Categorizing radicals as Rational and Irrational Numbers in the Warm Up helps to define radical values. If a radical is Irrational, it can be left in radical form, as an exact value. The exact value form of a radical is often easier to work with than a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal. To start this lesson, take some time to review the basic parts of radicals.
