Today you'll practice simplifying square roots using the product rule. Prime factorization is often used when radicands get larger so if you'd like a little practice with prime factorization you can find it here. This material is covered on pages 271 through 280 in the Engaging Algebra text.
6.3 A Product Rule for Square Roots
After working with this material you'll be able to simplify a square root when at least one factor of the radicand is a perfect square.
6.4 The Product Rule with Variable Roots
In this topic you'll transfer your skills from above to radicands that have at least one variable factor.
