In Multiplying
Radical There Indices are the same, but
radicands are different

• If the radicals have different
indices but same radicands,
transform the radicals to
Case powers with fractional
exponents, multiply the
2: powers by applying the
multiplication law in
exponents and then rewrite
the product as single radical.

Case 3:
• If radicals have different indices and
different radicands, convert the
radicals into powers having similar
fraction for exponents and rewrite
the product as a single radical.
Simplify the answer if possible.

• Dividing a radical by another
radical, follows the rule similar
Division to multiplication. When a
rational expression contains a
of radical in its denominator, you
Radicals often want to find an equivalent
expression that does not have a
radical in the denominator
