Multiplying and Simplifying Radical Expressions

After reviewing for the Concept 11 test, we returned to multiplying radical expressions. We focussed on coming up with the most simplified version of the expression, and likened it to the steps for multiplying fractions. There are several different ways to multiply both fractions and radicals: simplify and then multiply, or multiply and then simplify. Either is fine, provided you do each step properly. (You can find the rules for simplifying radicals on pages 511 and 512 of your textbook.)
