Simplifying Radical Expressions

Multiplying and dividing with square roots is relatively simple, and can be done in two different ways. You can consider the radical sign as one great big set of parentheses, and simplify within first, and then take the square root of the result. Alternatively, you can take the square roots of the number first, and then simplfy. Be sure to read lesson 9.2 and look at the examples.
