Please see own my website by clicking on my tutor name "Rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com. Then click on the link there to my website. From my Homepage, look for the link "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Look for "Basic Algebra" and look in Chapter 5. The entire chapter is my detailed explanation of radicals. In particular, look for Sections 5.03, 5.04, and 5.06, which describe the operations of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing radicals. This is FULL of examples, exercises, and answers to all the exercises. See also the "Math in Living Color" pages where many of these exercises are solved IN COLOR.

There is also a video of me teaching this topic a few years ago before I retired. The video can be found from my Homepage by looking for "Rapalje Videos in Living Color." All the videos (there are many videos on a variety of topics in math!!) are FREE.
