Similar radicals, or like radicals, are expressions with the same index and radicands. Thus, 2 , 3 2

, − 4 2 are similar radicals. On the other hand 5 and 3


5 are not similar radicals since they have
3 3
different indices. 4x and 2x are not radicals since their radicands are not the same .

Similar radicals can be combined by addition or subtraction. We can combine like radicals by adding or
subtracting their coefficients then affix their common radical.

Examples: Simplify:

1. ) 3 5 + 6 5 − 2 5 2. ) 3
x 5 − 23 x 7 − 3 x8

= (3 + 6 − 2) 5 Add /subtract the coefficients =


3
x 3 • x 2 − 23 x 6 • x − 3 x 6 • x 2

= 7 5 Affix the common radical = x3 x 2 − 2 x 2 3 x − x 2 3 x 2 Simplify each radical

(x − x )
Combine whenever

x2 − 2x2 3 x possible

3.) 7 98 + 5 32 − 2 50
Combine whenever
Look for the smallest possible factors of the radicands, where one factor is possible
a perfect square.

7 98 + 5 32 − 2 50 = 7 49 • 2 + 5 16 • 2 − 2 25 • 2

( ) ( ) (
= 7 49 • 2 + 5 16 • 2 − 2 25 • 2 )
= 7(7 ) 2 + 5(4) 2 − 2(5) 2

= 49 2 + 20 2 − 10 2

= (49 + 20 − 10) 2

= 59 2
