    This lesson picks up where the previous lesson left off. You will get more practice with example problems of multiplying and distributing radical expressions in this lesson. The numbers are a bit larger this time and problems are a bit more difficult in general, but the methods are the same. This is a very good tutorial for those who need more practice. Also, some special cases of multiplying binomials with radical expressions are shown.
