Simplify: StartRoot 324 EndRoot 1. Write the prime factorization of the radicand. StartRoot 324 EndRoot = StartRoot 2 times 2 ti
mes 3 times 3 times 3 times 3 EndRoot 2. Apply the product property of square roots. Write the radicand as a product, forming as many perfect square roots as possible. StartRoot 2 times 2 times 3 times 3 times 3 times 3 EndRoot = StartRoot 2 squared EndRoot times StartRoot 3 squared EndRoot times StartRoot 3 squared EndRoot 3. Simplify. =
