Multiply Radicals
 Radical expressions often contain
factors that have more than one
term.
 Multiplying such expressions is
similar to finding products of
polynomials.
 Some products will yield like radical
terms, which we can now combine.

Radical Conjugates
 In part (c) of the last example,
notice that the inner and outer
products in F.O.I.L. are opposites,
the result, m – n, is not itself a
radical expression. Pairs of radical
terms like, m  n and m  n ,
are called conjugates.

Rationalize DeNominator
 When a radical expression appears in a
denominator, it can be useful to find an
equivalent expression in which the
denominator NO LONGER contains a
RADICAL. The procedure for finding
such an expression is called
rationalizing the denominator.
 We carry this out by multiplying
by 1 in either of two ways.

Rationalize 2-Term Rad DeNoms
 Recall that the Difference-of-2Sqs
Product results in the O & I terms in the
FOIL Multiplication Adding to Zero
 To Rationalize a DeNominator that
contains two Radical Terms requires the
use of Conjugates (which have a Diff-ofSqs form) to remove the radicals from
the Denom
