Is anyone here good at simplifying radicals? I thought I got it, but I must have had a lightbulb moment that was a dud, cause my paper is all marked up and I need to do corrections but I have no idea. I have a good math teacher, but she isn't very good at explaining how to do things.
1. 6 Square root of 132
2. 2 square root of 6 times 3 square root of 2
3. 3 square root of 12 times 2 square root of 3
Those are just a few that I missed.

May I wait for help with you? Try as I might to retain information, everything that my cousin told me about radicals came in one ear and out the other.

I MIGHT be able to help, but it'll take me a while to figure out how to explain it... *consults old math notes while throwing aside my report card from last year with a '95%' in pre-calc on it*

ok i figured what a radical yay!! took me awhile cos i've heard it before and really it's pretty much a surd in itself so yea so down to business... 1. 6 square root of 132 = 6 square root of 4 multiplied by square root of 33 = 6 multiplied by 2 square root of 33 = 12 square root of 33 2. 2 square root of 6 times 3 square root of 2 = 2 times 3 square root of 6 times 2 = 6 square root 12 = 6 square root of 4 times square root of 3 = 6 times 2 square root of 3 = 12 square root of 3 3. 3 square root of 12 time 2 square root of 3 = 3 times 2 square root of 12 times 3 = 6 square root of 36 = 6 times 6 =36 ok that should be what those answers are and if you don't understand how i got some of the just ask ok i'll be here if you need any help
