Simplifying by Adding or Subtracting Common Radical Factors
A new guideline for simplifying radicals is introduced: the terms in a fully-simplified radical expression must have no common radical factors. Simplifying a radical expression by adding or subtracting common radical factors is illustrated.

Denominator of a Simplified Expression Never Has Radicals, The
A guideline is presented: a simplified radical expression never has radicals in the denominator. An expression with a radical in the denominator, but not in the numerator, is simplified using the identity property of multiplication and the process o...
