So let's say I have square root of two a times the square root of 14 a to the third times the square root of five a. So like always, pause this video and see if you can simplify this on your own.

When square roots have the same value inside the radical, we can combine like terms. First we simplify the radical expressions by removing all factors that are perfect squares from inside the …

What about roots that aren't equal to an integer, like √20? Still, we can write 20 as 4⋅5 and then use known properties to write √ (4⋅5) as √4⋅√5, which is 2√5.

Simplify. Remove all perfect squares from inside the square root. Assume b is positive.

Any variable that can be squared so for instance x^2 or y^4 is taken out of the square root symbol. You then divide the exponent by 2 (so x^2 would be x^1 or just x and y^4 would be y^2). Once …

If you are simplifying square roots, you do not have to use prime factors. If you can find the perfect squares without going all the way down to prime factors, that's ok.
