Tutorial for Multiplying a Radical Expression by a Binomial Radical Expression

The video tutorial covers the rules of multiplication and the application of the distributed property. It demonstrates how to multiply and simplify radicals, providing step-by-step examples. The tutorial concludes with a final simplification to obtain the answer and addresses questions for further clarification.

What is the first step when using the distributive property in multiplication?

• Add the terms together

• Divide the terms

• Multiply each term separately

• Subtract the terms

When multiplying square roots, what should you do with the radicands?

• Add them together

• Subtract them

• Divide them

• Multiply them together

How do you simplify the expression 2 * 3 when they are coefficients outside the radical?

• Divide them to get 1.5

• Add them to get 5

• Subtract them to get 1

• Multiply them to get 6

What is the simplified form of sqrt(25)?

• 25

• 15

• 10

• 5

Why can't you multiply coefficients directly with radicands?

• It changes the value of the expression

• It simplifies the expression too much

• It makes the expression more complex

• It is mathematically incorrect
