A radical may be defined as a positive irrational number of the type \"\"<\/a>, where the symbol\u00a0\"\"<\/a> is called the radical sign, the index n is called the order of the radical and x the radicand. A number \"\"<\/a>can be a radical if and only if it is an irrational number and the radicand is a positive rational number. When the order is not mentioned it is taken as 2.<\/p>\n

If two radicals have the same order and the same radicands in their reduced form they are called like radicals. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Addition and subtraction of radicals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only like radicals can be added or subtracted by adding or subtracting their coefficients.<\/p>\n

Example 1:<\/p>\n

Multiplication of radicals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Radicals of different orders are first converted to same order by finding the LCM of orders of the given radicals and then multiplied using the rule \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
