2 ENGAGE

In our activity in number 1, the values


of the expressions in column 3 are
equivalent with the expressions in
column 4. Each value in column 3 is the
product of two roots and the value in column 4
is the square root of the product of the two
radicands. Thus, to multiply two square roots,
multiply the radicands and then take the square
root of the product.

Simplifying Square Root Radicals When the Radicand Has a Perfect Square Factor
1. Write the radicand as a product of the greatest perfect square factor and another factor.
2. Use the product rule for radicals to write the expression as a product of two
radicals with the perfect square factor as one radicand.
3. Evaluate the radical with the perfect square radicand.

For real numbers a and b with b and any


integer n>1.
If n is an even integer, a must be nonnegative
and b must be positive.

The product and quotient rules for
radicals are important in order for
us to arrive at the right answer.
Rules helps in guiding us through
our computations towards correct
result. Why do we need rules and
laws?
