Simplifying a Radical with Variables
In this lesson, the instructor teaches how to simplify a radical with variables. After simplifying the numeric radicand, they explain a helpful trick for breaking down variables with exponents, and then demonstrate how to use that trick to simplify a more complex radicand. The end result is a clear and concise formula for simplifying radicals with variables.

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
