Master Simplifying radical expressions using rational powers and the product rule

The video tutorial demonstrates how to simplify radical expressions by converting them into rational powers and applying the product rule. It explains the importance of having the same index when multiplying radicals and provides examples to illustrate the process. The tutorial covers simplifying expressions like 5^(1/2) * 5^(1/5) and 6^(1/4) * 6^(1/3) by finding common denominators and using properties of exponents. Additionally, it includes an example of simplifying the 4th root of 18 times the square root of 12.
