True or false:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The expression $\"5sqrt%2818%29+\"$ is written in simplest radical form.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5sqrt%2818%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "False.  That is not in simplest radical form because\r\n" );
document.write( "18 can be written as the perfect square 9 times 2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Take individual square roots of the factors under the radical:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "And the square root of 9 is 3, so\r\n" );
