alleryStart learning →The Product Property of Square Roots is used to remove which factors from a radical?
AAll odd number factors
BAll negative sign factors
CAll fractional factors
DAll perfect square factors
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. All perfect square factors
1. The property is the tool that does the simplifying.
2. A square root is simplified when the radicand has no perfect square factors.
3. We use the Product Property of Square Roots to remove those factors.
4. It removes all perfect square factors from a radical.
