Is the following radical a Type 1 or Type 2 Radical?
Type 1 (aka only one term within the radical)Type 2 (aka more than one term
within the radical)
Can you simplify this radical as it is currently written?
Only if the numbers
happen to be perfect squaresPotentially; depending on the values, since it is
a Type 2 it is at least possible to simplify.Not as it is written. Type 2
radicals cannot be simplified without manipulating them first into Type 1
radicals.No, there is never anything we can do to simplify Type 2 radicals.
