By the way, on typical
math tests and in typical math books, they call this
stuff "simplifying" or "reducing" radicals... But,
the value doesn't get smaller, so I don't like the
"reducing" word... And, I ask you...
Which is "simpler?"
Which would take less
time to punch into a calculator?
If I had my way (which
I rarely do), I'd bad this process altogether.
But, it's in all the books and it will be on most
algebra tests you'll run into. So, let's just
think of it as a game we need to play.
