how do you simplify radical expressions?I am so lost please help.

look at it and see if you can separate them into numbers that can be squared \[\sqrt{50} \rightarrow \sqrt{25\times2}\ \] as seen above, if u can further separate it, it becomes \[\sqrt{25\times2}= \sqrt{5\times5\times2}\] since there are 2 5's, we group them outside like this: \[5\sqrt{2}\] and thats in its simplified form.
