By \"radical\" I assume you mean square root. All roots use a radical symbol: \"sqrt%2898%29+%7B%7B%7Broot%283%2C+7%28\" root(12, 34)}}} etc. In the future, use sqrt(15) or say \"square root\". The word radical is too vague.

\n" ); document.write( "\"15sqrt%2815%29%2F5sqrt%285%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "As often occurs in Math, there is more than one way to go with this. So the following is not the one and only way to simplify your expression.

\n" ); document.write( "First thing I would do is simplify the numbers outside the square roots:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2A5%2Asqrt%2815%29%29%2F%285%2Asqrt%285%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2Across%285%29%2Asqrt%2815%29%29%2F%28cross%285%29%2Asqrt%285%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "leaving:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283sqrt%2815%29%29%2Fsqrt%285%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "Next I would use a property of all radicals, \"root%28a%2C+p%29%2Froot%28a%2C+q%29+=+root%28a%2C+p%2Fq%29\", to merge the two square roots into one:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3sqrt%2815%2F5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "The fraction inside the square root simplifies easily:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3sqrt%283%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "And there's nothing left to do! \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
