= Square Root of a product You can break a square root into two square roots over a multiplication sign.
When you find a square number under the Radical you take the square root of it.
= A pair of numbers under the Radical The square and square root undo each other and the number “pops” out
= = = = LEAVE IN RADICAL FORM You have to make sure that your final answer is simplified all the way =
= = = = LEAVE IN RADICAL FORM Your turn =
∙ To multiply radicals: simplify each radicand then multiply.
Simplify then Multiply
