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 squares Potentially; 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.
