The video tutorial from moomoomath explains how to simplify radicals with variables. It begins with an example involving the square root of 49e^12f^7, demonstrating how to factor and simplify by taking out like terms. The process involves identifying pairs of variables and simplifying the expression to 42e^5f^3√f. The tutorial then covers a more complex example with a fourth root, breaking down the number 32 and variables x^8 and y to simplify the expression to 2x^2√(2y). The video aims to help viewers understand the process of simplifying radicals with variables and different roots.

What is the first step in simplifying a radical expression with variables?

• Add all the numbers under the radical.

• Divide the numbers under the radical by 2.

• Look for like factors to take out of the radical.

• Multiply all the numbers under the radical.
