If m and n are not negative and are real numbers, then SQRT(m) * SQRT(n)
= SQRT(mn).
1. Simplify: SQRT(50)
SQRT(5 * 5 * 2)
2. Simplify: SQRT(147)
SQRT(3 * 7 * 7)

Adding and subtracting square roots is just like combining like terms when
you need to do that with algebraic expressions. If the indeces (a square
root's index is 2, a cube root's index is 3, a 4th root's index is 4, etc.) or the
radicands (the expression under the root sign or enclosed by parentheses
after SQRT) are the same, you have a like term on your hands.
(4 - 5 + 12) * SQRT(2)
Many times, such problems will not be given to you with all the terms alike,
or even trickier, the terms will only look different!
SQRT(2 * 3 * 3) + SQRT(2 * 2 * 2)
(3(SQRT(2))) + (2(SQRT(2)))
5(SQRT(2))

4 * 3 * SQRT(3) * SQRT(2)
