{\bf Simplifying Square Roots}\hb
$\sqrt{75}=\sqrt{25\cdot3}=\sqrt{25}\cdot\sqrt{3}=5\sqrt{3}$\hb
$\sqrt{76}=\sqrt{4\cdot19}=\sqrt{4}\sqrt{19}=2\sqrt{19}$\hb
$\sqrt{144}=\sqrt{9\cdot16}=\sqrt{9}\sqrt{16}=3\cdot4=12$\hfill
        $\sqrt{54}=\sqrt{9\cdot6}=\sqrt{9}\sqrt{6}=3\sqrt{6}$ not $3\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3}$
\bigskip
{\bf Multiplying Square Roots}\hb
$(\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{2})=(\sqrt{6})$\hb
$(\sqrt{3})^2=(\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{3})=3$\hb
$(2\sqrt{3})^2=(2\sqrt{3})(2\sqrt{3})=4\cdot3=12$
\bigskip
{\bf Rationalizing the Denominator}\hb
$\sqrt{2\over3}={\sqrt{2}\over\sqrt{3}}={\sqrt{2}\over\sqrt{3}}\cdot
                              {\sqrt{3}\over\sqrt{3}}={\sqrt{6}\over3}$\hb
$\sqrt{3\over8}={\sqrt{3}\over\sqrt{8}}={\sqrt{3}\over\sqrt{8}}\cdot
                              {\sqrt{2}\over\sqrt{2}}={\sqrt{6}\over\sqrt{16}}=
                              {\sqrt{6}\over4}$
