*To multiply radicals: multiply
the coefficients and then
multiply the radicands and
then simplify the remaining
radicals.

To divide radicals:
divide the
coefficients, divide
the radicands if
possible, and
rationalize the
denominator so that
no radical remains in
the denominator

6This cannot be
divided which leaves
the radical in the
denominator. We do
not leave radicals in
the denominator. So
we need to
rationalize by
multiplying the
fraction by
something so we can
eliminate the radical
in the denominator.

simplified, so we are
finished.
This can be divided
which leaves the
radical in the
denominator. We do
not leave radicals in
the denominator. So
we need to
rationalize by
multiplying the
fraction by
something so we can
