To multiply these we use a property of all radicals: :

which simplifies to:

Next we try to simplify the radical. This is done by finding factors that are powers of 6 (since this is a 6th root). There is one power of 6:

Next we use the property above (this time from right to left) to separate the power of 6:

which simplifies to:


Important: Radical expressions (without a negative sign in front) must not be negative. So our answer should not be negative. Normally one would use absolute value to ensure a non-negative result. However, since the original problem had and since the radicand of a even-numbered root, like 6th roots, must be positive, we know that b could never be negative. So we do not need to be concerned with using absolute value to ensure a non-negative result. If we had not known that b was non-negative, we would have to use

to ensure the final expression is non-negative.
