What will you do
Lesson 1
Multiplication of Radical Expression
In multiplying radical, there are three cases to be considered. These are:
a. Indices are the same. When multiplying radicals having the same
index,
_ _ __
apply: n
√x . n
√y = n
√xy and then if necessary, simplify the resulting
radicand.
b. Indices are different but radicands are the same. To find the product of
radicals with different indices, but the same radicand, apply the
following steps:
1. transform the radical to fractional exponents.
2. multiply the powers by applying: xm
. xn
= xm+n
(law of exponent)
3. rewrite the product as a single radical.
4. simplify the resulting radicand if necessary.
c. Indices and radicands are different. To find the product with different indices
and radicands, follow the following steps:
1. transform the radicals to powers with fractional exponents.
2. change the fractional exponents into similar fractions.
3
4. 3. rewrite the product as a single radical
4. Simplify the resulting radicand if necessary.
Multiplying monomial radicals
Rules to follow:
Rule 1. If radicals to be multiplied have the same indices, follow the steps
in the examples.
_ _ _
Example 1. Multiply: √2.√3.√5
Solution: Write the product of two or more radicals as a single expression.
_ _ _ ____
√2.√3.√5 = √ 2.3.5
__
= √30
__ __
Example 2. Find the product: √12 . √18
Solution: There are two approaches to solve.
__ __ _____
√12 . √18 = √12.18 by property 1
___
= √216 Look for the largest perfect square
factor of 216, which is 36.
__ _
= √36 . √6
_
= 6√6
Second approach: First put each radical into simplest form.
__ __ _ _ _ _
√12 . √18 = √4. √3 . √9. √2
_ _
= 2√3 . 3√2 Rearrange the factors.
_ _
= 2.3√3 √2

Note that the second approach used kept numbers much smaller. The
arithmetic was easier when the radical is simplified first.

Multiplying a radical by a binomial
6
7. In each of the following multiplication, you are to use the distributive
property to expand the binomial terms.
_ _ _
Example 10. Multiply: √3 ( 2√3 + √5)
Solution: Using the distributive law, then
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
√3 (2√3 + √5) = √3 . 2√3 + √3 . √5
_ _ ____
= 2√3.√3 + √ 3. 5
___
= 2.3 + √15
__
= 6 + √15
_ _ _
Example 11. Multiply and simplify: 2√x (√x - 3) – 4(3 - 5√x)
Solution: Proceed as if there are no radicals- using the distributive law to
remove the parentheses;
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
2√x (√x - 3) – 4(3 - 5√x) = 2√x √x - 6√x – 12 + 20√x
_ _
= 2 x -6√x – 12 + 20√x
_ _
= 2x - 6√x–12 + 20√x combine like terms
_
= 2x + 14√x – 12
Binomial Multiplication.
This method is very much similar to the FOIL method. The terms are
expanded by multiplying each term in the first binomial by each term in the
second binomial.
_ _ _ _
Example 12. (4√3 + √2) (√3 -5√2
_ _ _ _
Solution: (4√3 + √2) (√3 -5√2)
Use the FOIL method, that is multiplying the first terms, outer
terms, inner terms and the last terms.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
= 4(√3)(√3) -4√3(5√2) + √2(√3) - √2(5√2)
_ _ _ _
= 4(√3)2
- 20√6 + √6 -5(√2)2
7
8. _ _
= 4 . 3 - 20√6 + √6 – 5 . 2
_ _
= 12 - 20√6 + √6 – 10
_
= 2 - 19√6
_ _ _ _
Example 13. (√a + √3) (√b + √3)
_ _ _ _
Solution: (√a + √3) (√b + √3) FOIL these binomial then
simplify.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
= √a√b + √3√a + √3√b + (√3)2
__ __ __
= √ab + √3a + √3b + 3
_ _
Example 14. Multiply and simplify: (√7 - √3 )2
Solution. Watch out! Avoid the temptation to square them
separately.
_ _ _ _ _ _
(√7 - √3)2
= (√7 - √3) (√7 - √3)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
= √7 √7 - √7 √3 - √7 √3 + √3 √3
__ __
= 7 - √21 - √21 + 3 Combine like terms
__
= 10 - 2√21
_ ____
Example 15. (√a – 3)2
– (√a – 3 )2
Solution: Note the difference between the two expressions being
squared.
The first is a binomial; the second is not.
_ ___ _ _ ____ ___
(√a – 3)2
– (√a – 3 )2
= (√a – 3)(√a – 3) - √a – 3 √a-3
_ _ _ _
= √a√a - 3√a -3√a + 9 – (a - 3)
Note that the parentheses around a – 3 is essential.
8
Remember: (a+b)2
≠a2
+ b2
9. _
= a – 6 √a + 9 – a + 3
_
= -6√a + 12
Multiplying Conjugate Binomials
The product of conjugates are always rational numbers. The product of a
pair of conjugates is always a difference of two squares (a2
– b2
), multiplication of
a radical expression by its conjugate results in an expression that is free of
radicals.
__ __
Example 16. (√13 -3) (√13 + 3)
Solution: Multiply out using FOIL.
__ __ __ __ __ __
(√13 -3) (√13 + 3) = √13 √13 + 3√13 - 3√13 – 9 The middle
terms combine to 0.
= 13 – 9
= 4 This answer does
not involve radical.

13. Lesson 2
Division of radicals
Dividing a radical by another radical, follows the rule similar to
multiplication. When a rational expression contains a radical in its denominator,
you often want to find an equivalent expression that does not have a radical in
the denominator. This is rationalization. Study the following examples.
__
Example 1. Simplify: √72
√6
Solution: You are given two solutions:
__
b. Simplify √72. b. Make one radical expression
___ __ __ __
√72 = √36 √2 √72 = 72
√6 √6 √6 6
_ __
= 6√2 Rationalize = √12
√6 _ _
_ _ = √4 √3
= 6√2 . √6 _
√6 √6 = 2√3
__
= 6√12
6
__
= √12
_ _
= √4 √3
_
= 2√3
Note: Clearly the second method is more efficient. If you have the quotient of
two radical expressions and see that there are common factors which can be
reduced, it is usually method 2 is a better strategy, first to make a single radical
and reduce the fraction within the radical sign. then proceed to simplify the
remaining expression.

Rationalizing binomial denominators
The principle used to remove such radicals is the familiar factoring
equation. If a or b is square root, and the denominator is a + b, multiply the
numerator and the denominator by a – b and if a or b is a square root and the
denominator is a + b, multiply the numerator and the denominator by a – b. (a +
b) (a – b) = a2
- b2
Example 3. ___2___
√7 - √5 __ __
Solution: the denominator is √7 - √5, is the difference, so multiply the
numerator and the numerator by the sum √7 + √5:
_ _ _ _

Definition:
The pairs of expressions like x - √y and x + √y or √x - √y and √x + √y
are called conjugates. The product of a pair of conjugates has no radicals in it.
Hence, when we rationalize a denominator that has two terms where one or more
of them involve a square-root radical, we multiply by an expression equal 1, that
is, by using the conjugate of the denominator.
