Basic Rule on How to Multiply Radical Expressions. A radicand is a term inside the square root. We multiply radicals by multiplying their radicands together while keeping their product under the same radical symbol.

You can multiply square roots, a type of radical expression, just as you might multiply whole numbers. The trickiest part of multiplying square roots is simplifying the expression to reach your final answer, but even this step is easy if you know your perfect squares.

Furthermore, what are radicals in math? In mathematics, a radical expression is defined as any expression containing a radical (√) symbol. Many people mistakenly call this a square root symbol, and many times it is used to determine the square root of a number. However, it can also be used to describe a cube root, a fourth root, or higher.

Beside above, what is a simplified radical?

WE SAY THAT A SQUARE ROOT RADICAL is simplified, or in its simplest form, when the radicand has no square factors. A radical is also in simplest form when the radicand is not a fraction. The radicand no longer has any square factors.

What is the radical rule?

This rule states that the product of two or more numbers raised to a power is equal to the product of each number raised to the same power. This should be a familiar idea. You have applied this rule when expanding expressions such as (ab)x to ax • bx; now you are going to amend it to include radicals as well.
