Definition

A radical is a symbol that represents a particular root of a number.

Summary

The square root (√) of a number is another number which produces the first number when it is multiplied by itself. Its index is always 2.
Cube root (∛) of number is a value which when multiplied by itself thrice or three times produces the original value.

How to Subtract Radicals?

To subtract radicals, you should remember the following:

The indices and what is inside the radical (called the radicand) must be exactly alike.
If the indices and radicands are alike, then subtract the terms in front of each like radical.
If the indices or radicands are not the same, then you can not subtract the radicals.

Example

18√2 – 9√2

Since the indices and radicands of the given radicals are the same, it is possible to solve the difference.

18√2 – 9√2 = (18 – 9)√2 = 9√2
