Practice makes perfect
We can simplify this expression by multiplying the expressions inside the radicals and multiplying the constants, separately. asqrt(b)* csqrt(d)=a* csqrt(b* d) ⇓ 2sqrt(3)* 3sqrt(12)= 2*3sqrt(3*12) Then we can simplify the expression by rewriting the numbers under the square root as the product of at least one perfect square factor.
2*3sqrt(3*12)
2*3sqrt(3* 3* 4)
2*3sqrt(3^2* 4)
2*3 sqrt(3^2)* sqrt(4)
2*3 sqrt(3^2)* sqrt(2^2)
2* 3* 3* 2
