How to simplify radical expressions

Answer 1

Simplify radical expressions. If we combine these two things then we get the product property of radicals and the quotient property of radicals. These two properties tell us that the square root of a product equals the product of the square roots of the factors. no radicals appear in the denominator of a fraction.

Answer 2

We can solve/simplify the radical expressions by expressing them in simplest forms, so that there are no more square roots, cube roots etc left to find. We also have to make sure that no radical is left in the denominator.

For example:

`√(60)`

Solving this we get;

`√(2*2*3*5)`

=
`2√(3*5)`

=
`2√(15)`

=
`2*3.872` = 7.744

In this way radical expressions are solved.
