Simplifying Radical Expressions

Dr. K introduces radicals, explaining them as square roots of numbers. Using the example of radical 90, he breaks down the process of simplifying radicals by identifying perfect squares within the radicand. The tutorial demonstrates how to express radicals in a simplified form, making the concept easier to understand.
