im having a lot of trouble of multiplying radicals


Hi Carolyn
sqrt3 * root3 = sqrt(3*3) = sqrt9 = 3

2sqrt6 * 7sqrt12 = 2 * 7 * sqrt6 * sqrt12 = 14 * sqrt72
but sqrt72 = sqrt(36*2) = sqrt36 * sqrt2 = 6sqrt3
so
14*sqrt72 = 14 * 6 * sqrt3 = 84sqrt3

Does that help at all.

Here's a you tube clip. It is very good!
There are heaps of you tube clips that can be of great value when you have general problems with a specific problem.
Just copy and paste it into your URL. (at the top of the page)
