At this stage of the game, you are probably dealing with square roots. There are also cube roots and others as well. When you solve quadratic equations using the quadratic formula, sometims the answers have square roots in them. Leaving the answer with a square root in the answer and simplifying it as much as possible would be leaving it in simplest radical form. Here is an example of one answer in simplest radical form.
