Multiply:
Step 1: Distribute (or FOIL) to remove the
parenthesis. Remember that you can multiply
numbers outside the radical with numbers outside
the radical and numbers inside the radical with
numbers inside the radical, assuming the radicals
have the same index.
Step 2: Simplify the radicals.
Step 3: Combine like terms. Remember that in
order to add or subtract radicals the radicals must
be exactly the same. In this case, there are no like
terms.
