An Introduction to Conjugate Expressions

A detailed tutorial on the solving of conjugates and conjugate expressions. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to solve conjugates and conjugate expressions for reference.

Conjugates are probably very familiar to you – if you have spent any time studying binomials, then you know what a conjugate is. However, there is one difference. A conjugate uses radicals, or square roots, instead of whole numbers. One number will be a whole number, and one number will be a radical for each binomial. You can solve them using the normal FOIL method that is used on binomials, and with the algebra tricks you learned for multiplying square roots.
