This week in math 10, I learned how to convert entire radicals into mixed radicals and vise versa.

In order to simplify the entire radical, you would have to take a look at the radical’s factors. Among the factors find the perfect squares, and rewrite the radical using the pair of factors. Take the square root of the perfect square and pair the two identical numbers into one single number and place it outside of the radical.

This method can also be used for cube roots, fourth roots, and so on.
