+To combine radicals: combine the coefficients of like radicals
Hint: In order to combine radicals they must be like terms

*To multiply radicals: multiply the coefficients and then multiply the radicands and then simplify the remaining radicals.
Hint: to multiply radicals they DO NOT need to be like terms

To divide radicals: divide the coefficients, divide the radicands if possible, and rationalize the denominator so that no radical remains in the denominator

6This cannot be
divided which leaves the radical in the
denominator. We do not leave radicals in the denominator. So
we need to rationalize by multiplying the
fraction by something so we can eliminate
the radical in the denominator.

Since the fraction doesn’t reduce, split the radical up.
Uh oh…There is a
fraction in the radical!
How do I get rid of the radical in the
denominator?
Multiply by the “fancy one” to make the denominator a perfect
square!

How do you know when a radical problem is done?
1. No radicals can be simplified.Example:
2. There are no fractions in the radical.Example:
3. There are no radicals in the denominator.Example:
