Multiplication of Radical Expressions


In multiplying radicals, there are three cases to be
considered. These are:

A. Indices are the same


When multiplying radicals having the same index,
𝑛 𝑛 𝑛
apply the product rule for radicals √𝑎 • √𝑏 = √𝑎𝑏 and
then if necessary, simplify the resulting radicand.

To find the product of radicals with different indices,
but the same radicand, apply the following steps:

2. Multiply the powers by applying law of exponent :
𝑎𝑚 • 𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎𝑚+𝑛
3. Rewrite the product as a single radical.
4. Simplify the resulting radicand if necessary.

What Is It?

Multiplying a Radical by a Binomial

In each of the following multiplication, you are to use the


distributive property to expand the binomial terms.
Image 13: Online Photo via Bitmoji

EXAMPLES :

Multiplying a Binomial Radical Expression

This method is very much similar to the FOIL method. The terms are
expanded by multiplying each term in the first binomial by each term in the
second binomial.

EXAMPLES :

1. ( 𝟒√𝟑 + √𝟐 )( 𝟐√𝟑 − √𝟐 )

Solution :

( 4√3 + √2 )( 2√3 − √2 ) Use FOIL method in solving for the product of the radical
expression

= ( 4√3)(2√3 ) + (4√3)(−√2) + (√2 )(2√3 ) + (√2 )(−√2 )


Multiply each term ( 4√3)(2√3 ) = 𝟖√𝟗
(4√3)(−√2) = −𝟒√𝟔
(√2 )(2√3 ) = 𝟐√𝟔
(√2 )(−√2 ) = −√𝟒
= 8√9 − 4√6 + 2√6 − √4 Get the root of a perfect square and combine like terms
= 8(3) − 2√6 − 2 Simplify each term if possible
= 24 − 2 − 2√6 Subtract 24 and 2

= 𝟐𝟐 − 𝟐√𝟔 Caution: You cannot subtract 22 and 2√6 since they are
dissimilar term. Therefore, this is the final answer.

2. ( √𝒙 + √𝟑 )(√𝒚 + √𝟑 )

Solution :

( √𝑥 + √3 )(√𝑦 + √3 ) Use FOIL method in solving for the product of the radical
expression

= (√𝑥 )(√𝑦) + (√𝑥 )(√3) + (√3 )(√𝑦) + (√3 )(√3)


Multiply each term (√𝑥 )(√𝑦) = √𝒙𝒚
(√𝑥 )(√3) = √𝟑𝒙
(√3 )(√𝑦 ) = √𝟑𝒚
(√3 )(√3 ) = √𝟗
= √𝑥𝑦 + √3𝑥 + √3𝑦 + √9 Get the root of a perfect square and combine like terms

= √𝑥𝑦 + √3𝑥 + √3𝑦 + 3 Since there is no similar term, therefore, this is the final
answer

3. ( √𝟓 − √𝟕)𝟐

Watch out! Avoid the temptation to square them separately.


Remember: ( a + b )2  a2+ b2
Image 15: Online Photo via Bitmoji

Solution :
To answer , you can use the method in squaring a binomial.
➢ Square the 1st term (√5 )2 = √𝟐𝟓
➢ Twice the product of the 2 Terms 2 [ (√5 )(−√7 ) ] = -2√𝟑𝟓
➢ Square the last term (√7)2 = √𝟒𝟗

Write in equation form :

( √5 − √7)2 = √𝟐𝟓 − 𝟐√𝟑𝟓 + √𝟒𝟗


= 5 − 2√35 + 7

= 𝟏𝟐 − 𝟐√𝟑𝟓

CONJUGATES

The conjugate of a binomial is a binomial having the same two terms


with the sign of the second term changed.

Expression Conjugate
𝟐 + √𝟕 𝟐 − √𝟕
3√𝟓 − 𝟒 3√𝟓 + 𝟒
√𝟐 + √𝟑 √𝟐 − √𝟑

Multiplying Conjugate Binomials

The product of conjugates are always rational numbers. The product of a pair
of conjugates is always a difference of two squares (a2 – b2), multiplication of a
radical expression by its conjugate results in an expression that is free of
radical

EXAMPLES :

1. ( √3 + √7 )(√3 − √7 )

Solution :
For an easy solution , use the concept of the Difference of Two Square

( a2 – b2 ) = ( a + b ) ( a – b ) or ( a + b ) ( a – b ) = ( a2 – b2 )

10
( √3 + √7 )(√3 − √7 ) = ( √3) 2 − (√7) 2 Square both terms
= ( √3) 2 − (√7) 2 Cancel the radical symbol and the
square sign since both terms are perfect
square

= 3 − 7 Get the difference of two square

= -4

2. ( √15 − 8 ) ( √15 + 8 )

Solution :
For an easy solution , use the concept of the Difference of Two Square

( √15 − 8 ) ( √15 + 8 ) = (√15 )2 − 82 Square both terms


2 2
= (√15 ) − 8 Cancel the radical symbol and the
square sign on the 1st terms since it is a
perfect square , then get the square of
the 2nd term
= 15 − 64 Get the difference of two square

= −𝟒𝟗

3. ( 5√6 + 3√2 ) ( 5√6 − 3√2 )

Solution :
For an easy solution , use the concept of the Difference of Two Square
( 5√6 + 3√2 ) ( 5√6 − 3√2 )
= (5√6 )2 − (3√2 )2 Square both terms
= (5√6 )2 − (3√2 )2 Cancel the radical symbol and the square sign on both terms
since it is a perfect square , then get the square of both
numerical coefficient
= 25 ( 6 ) − 9( 2 ) Simplify
= 150 − 18 Subtract 18 from 150 or Get the difference

= 𝟏𝟑𝟐

4. (√𝑥 + 2√𝑦 )( √𝑥 − 2√𝑦 )

Solution :
For an easy solution , use the concept of the Difference of Two Square
(√𝑥 + 2√𝑦 )( √𝑥 − 2√𝑦 )
= (√𝑥 )2 − 22 (√𝑦 )2 Square both terms
= (√𝑥 )2 − 22 (√𝑦 )2 Cancel the radical symbol and the square sign on both terms
since it is a perfect square , then get the square of the
numerical coefficient

What I Need To Remember


Radicals with the same indices are multiplied by using the product
rule for radicals. That is ,
𝑛 𝑛 𝑛
√𝑎 • √𝑏 = √𝑎𝑏
However , if indices are different, then you need to consider the following ,

1. Change the radical expressions to exponential form.


2. Multiply the exponents
3. Rewrite the product in radical form
4. Simplify if possible
Conjugate refers to an expression that is identical to a given
expression but has the opposite sign of the operation. Most likely, this is
very useful specially in dividing radical expression with a binomial as a
dividend or as a denominator

What I Need to Know


At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:
1. use the basic properties of radicals to obtain an expression in simplest
radical form
2. perform division on radical expression
3. rationalize the denominator

What’s In

Dividing a radical by another radical, follows the rule


similar to multiplication. When a rational expression
contains a radical in its denominator, you often want
to find an equivalent expression that does not have
a radical in the denominator. This is
rationalization.

What’s New
Division of Radical Expressions
In dividing a radical by another radical , rewrite the expression to
fractional form and then rationalize the result like what you did in simplifying
radicals involving fractions.

Review: Rationalization is a process where you simplify the expression by


making the denominator free from radicals.

Try it simple!
Using the division rule for radicals , solve for the quotient of the following
expressions.

Example : √20 ÷ √5 = √ Apply the division rule for radicals

What Is It?

❖ How should I Divide with a Binomial Radical Denominator?

Rationalizing a Binomial Denominators


The principle used to remove such radicals is to multiply the
numerator and the denominator by the Conjugate of the denominator. In the
previous lesson, you’ve already learned how to get the conjugate of a binomial
and determine the product by using the Difference of Two Square.

(a + b) (a – b) = a2 - b2

Quotients of Radicals with Different Indices
It is important to remember that the product and quotient
properties for radicals can be used only when radicals have the same
index. When indices differ, rational exponents can be useful.

What I Need To Remember
In dividing radical expression, there are things that need to be
considered.
𝑛
√𝑎 𝑛 𝑎
➢ To divide radicals of the same order , use the property 𝑛 = √ then
√𝑏 𝑏
rationalize the denominator
➢ To divide radicals of different orders, it is necessary to express them
as radicals of the same order then rationalize the denominator.
➢ To divide radicals with a denominator consisting of at least two
terms, rationalize the denominator using its conjugate.
