Simplifying Radical Expressions

In this Minute Math video, Sean Game explains how to simplify a radical expression using the product property. The video begins with an introduction to the topic, followed by a detailed explanation of the product property, which allows the separation of a number into products for easier simplification. Sean demonstrates this by simplifying the square root of 98, breaking it down into the square root of 49 and the square root of 2, resulting in 7 times the square root of 2. The video concludes with a call to action to like and subscribe for more free math lessons.
