Sorry,

Neither of these are radical expressions.

Traits of a radical expression:

  • The radicand is positive.
  • The radical index is as small as possible.
  • The exponent of each factor of the radicand is a natural number less than the radical index.
  • There are no fractions in the radicand.
  • There are no radicals in the denominator of a fraction.
