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.

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?
