Example Question #1 : How To Multiply Square Roots
Simplify:
When multiplying square roots, the easiest thing to do is first to factor each root. Thus:
Now, when you combine the multiplied roots, it will be easier to come to your final solution. Just multiply together everything "under" the roots:
Finally this can be simplified as:
Example Question #4 : Square Roots And Operations
Simplify the following:
When multiplying square roots, the easiest thing to do is first to factor each root. Thus:
Now, when you combine the multiplied roots, it will be easier to come to your final solution. Remember that multiplying roots is very easy! Just multiply together everything "under" the roots:
Finally this can be simplified as:
Example Question #5 : Square Roots And Operations
State the product:
Don't try to do too much at first for this problem. Multiply your radicals and your coefficients, then worry about any additional simplification.
Now simplify the radical.
Example Question #6 : Square Roots And Operations
Find the product:
Don't try to do too much at first for this problem. Multiply your radicals and your coefficients, then worry about any additional simplification.
Now, simplify your radical.
