How will I simplify the radicals?

To discuss the simplification of radicals, some important terms must be used. "Radical" is a term we use to reference to a symbol that indicates the root of a second root or "nth" and "radicand" is a number inside a radical symbol. The radical is simplified when Radicand does not have the remaining root factors of the square root or nth. In order to simplify the radicals, the Radicand must be taken into account and any factor that is the root of the square root or NTH must be reduced and placed in front of the radical sign. Square roots will be considered for the purposes of this discussion. The square is reduced and the radical symbol is removed. If the Radicand is not a perfect square, the Radicand must be taken into account to see if any of the factors can be simplified. Any factors that are a perfect square must be simplified and placed in front of a radical symbol. Factors that are not a perfect line will remain under a radical symbol. In such cases, it might seem impossible to simplify, but the factoring of the radican MIt can prove that simplification is possible.

Radicand that can be factor can be simplified if one of the factors is a perfect square. For example, a radical with a radical 54 can be proven within 9 x 6. To show the process of simplification, this equation would appear under a radical symbol. Once it is proven to 9 x 6, the perfect square - 9 - is moved from the radical symbol and reduces the integer.

In an attempt to simplify the radicals, you may come across a radical that cannot be simplified. For example, a radical with radican 33 cannot be simplified because 33 has no square factors. Thirty -three can be taken into account as 3 x 11, but because neither 3 nor 11 is a perfect square, no part of the radican can be removed from a radical symbol.
