Answer:

No radicands have perfect square factors other than 1.

No radicand contains a fraction.

No radicals appear in the denominator of a fraction.

Simplified Radical Form. All exponents in the radicand must be less than the index. Any exponents in the radicand can have no factors in common with the index. No fractions appear under a radical
