Ex: x

As shown above, you multiply like normal when multiplying radicals. The radicand is multiplied with the other radicand and the coefficient is multiplied with the other coefficient.

This week, we started working with radicals. This week, I wanted to show how one would simplify radicals. I feel like this will help myself when studying for the final.

Ex.

when simplifying radicals, you want to look at the number you are using, in this case, 27, and finding what perfect square goes into it. For 27, it is 9 because 9×3=27.

We can square the 9 and but it outside the root and keep the other 3 on the inside because it cannot be squared. The simplified version of   is
