Grade 9 Oak

1. The document discusses rules for multiplying radicals with different indices and radicands. It provides examples of multiplying radicals with numbers, variables, and exponents. 2. The rules for different indices and same radicands are to transform radicals to powers, multiply the powers using the rule a^b * a^c = a^(b+c), then rewrite as a single radical and simplify if needed. 3. The rules for different indices and different radicands also transform radicals to powers, then change powers to similar fractions before rewriting as a single radical and simplifying.
