Simplifying Radical Expressions

To simplify radical Expressions, identify ________ factors in the radicand, take the square root, and move them outside of the radical.

This can easily be done with the following steps:

Create a ​ (a)   for the radicand. Identify ​ ​ (b)   of numbers (perfect squares). These will go ​ (c)   the radical as one number (square ​root). Leave the "leftover" numbers ​ ​ (d)   the radical.

• factor tree
• pairs
• outside
• under

__________ by multiplying the numbers outside the radical (coefficient) and multiplying the numbers inside the radical (radicand).
