Multiplying Radicals
To multiply radicals the index must be the same
- Multiply coefficients by coefficients
- Multiply radicand by radicand
- Simplify into mixed radical form when possible
***It is usually easier to convert each radical to simplest mixed form before multiplying***
EXAMPLE: Multiply & Simplify
EXAMPLE: Expand and simplify the following
