Use the multiplication rule for radicals:
provided a and b are not both negative numbers!

Likewise

In your specific case,

Meanwhile, since you are doing a fourth root, be looking for perfect 4th powers that may be factors of these numbers. In particular, look for and . In this case, notice that 729 is divisible by 81, and can be written 729 = 81*9.

For additional explanation on roots, please see my Lesson Plan in algebra.com. Or even better, go to my own website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com. Click on my first link, which is "Basic or Intermediate Algebra: One Step at a Time", and look in Chapter 5 for Section 5.02 "Cube Roots and More". Also see my MATH IN LIVING COLOR PAGES. Look for Basic Algebra Chapter 5 or for more advanced problems see Intermediate Algebra Chapter 3. I think you will find this website helpful.
