Simplifying and Multiplying Radicals

The video tutorial covers multiplying and dividing radicals, including distributing radicals and combining like terms. It explains how to simplify radicals by following specific rules, such as removing fractions under the radical and rationalizing denominators. The tutorial also discusses using perfect cubes for simplification and introduces the concept of conjugates to handle radicals in sums or differences.
