I'm in Algebra II/Trig Honors.
How do you multiply monomials with an index in the radical?
Thank you.

lj19 said:I'm not asking for you to explain any more about multiplying monomials with an index in the radical, I understand how to do it. I just wanted to know if in your example, that the 3xto the sixth [with the index of 3] is in that form to be solved, because the index of 3 determines that you need 3 sets of xsquared's which will equal x to the sixth, also being the number in the radical. I noticed that it all corresponds, which may be what my teacher had explained.
1. I got 4, because if you take 4 and cube it you get 64.
2.I got x to the third times x to the third times x to the third which would equal x to the ninth, and the 3 in the index represents the 3 sets of x to the third, which is my final answer.
3. I got 4, because if you split 16 up four ways, then it would be 4.

A monomial is a mathematical expression that consists of only one term. It can be a number, a variable, or a combination of both, and can also include exponents.
A radical index is the number written above the radical symbol (√) that indicates the root of the expression. For example, in √x^2, the index is 2.
To multiply monomials with radical indices, you first multiply the coefficients (numbers) together, then multiply the variables together, and finally combine the radical indices by adding them. For example, to multiply √2x^3 and √3x^2, you would get √6x^5.
Yes, you can simplify expressions with multiplying monomials with radical indices by combining like terms. For example, if you have √2x^3 and √8x^3, you can simplify it to √10x^3.
When multiplying monomials with radical indices, negative exponents can be handled by moving the term with the negative exponent to the denominator, and changing the exponent to a positive one. For example, if you have √x^-2, you can rewrite it as 1/√x^2.
