What is the area of the square?
What is the length of the side?
The SQUARE OF A NUMBER is the total of square units used to form a larger square.
The SQUARE ROOT OF A NUMBER is the opposite of the square. It is when you find the lenght of the side in a square with a given number of square units.

Note the absolute value is because the resulting power is odd and the root index was even. This prevents the principal root from getting a negative value.

CONDITIONS TO FULLY SIMPLIFY A RADICAL EXPRESSION:
• The INDEX, is the smallest possible one.
• The RADICAND does not have other factors than 1, which are the nth powers of an integer or polynomial.
• There aren’t any fractions in the denominator.
• There are no radicals left in the denominator.

q and r had absolute value because their indexes were even and their final power was odd. But q by definition has to be positive within the 4th root, therefore, we may remove the absolute value from q, outside the radical, because is redundant.

To rationalize the denominator we multiply by a factor that give us for each integer or polynomial in the radicand at the denominator the same number as power, as the number we have for the index in the radical.
• There are no radicals left in the denominator.
