I- To reduce several radicals, with positive radicands, to the same index:

a) Find the LCM of the given indices.
b) Go as you do while taking a common denominator.
II- Two radicals are identical if, in simplest form, they have the same index and same radicand.
III- Addition and subtraction of radicals can be performed only if radicals are identical.
IV- Two radicals are conjugate of each other if their product contains no radicals when expressed in
simplest form.
