The Product Rule for Simplifying Square Roots
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The product rule for simplifying square roots splits the root of a product into a product of roots: √(ab) = √a · √b for nonnegative a and b.
Show
√72 = √36 · √2 = 6√2 — the perfect square walks out from under the radical.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
