Two general rules are:1. Not to have a perfect square as a factor within a square root (or perfect cube for cubic roots, etc.) Split it off. Example: root(12) = root(4) x root(3) = 2 x root(3)
2. Often, people try to avoid square roots in the denominator. Example: 1 / root(2). Multiply top and bottom by root(2), to get: root(2) / 2.

4y because they have like variables (y) you can just subtract them like normal
electronegative radicals are anions or acid radicals.
To multiply radicals, you can use the property that states the product of two square roots is the square root of the product of the numbers under the radicals. For example, √a × √b = √(a × b). If the radicals are the same, you can also combine them: √a × √a = a. Simplify the resulting radical if possible by factoring out perfect squares.
When arranging radicals, it is important to consider the index of the radical, whether or not the radical is mixed or entire, and then the radicand.

similar radicals are radicals with desame index and radicand ex: the square root of 5 squared
"You get what you give" by the New Radicals
Radicals are considered like radicals if they have the same index and the same radicand (the number or expression under the radical sign). For example, ( \sqrt{3} ) and ( \sqrt{12} ) are not like radicals, but ( \sqrt{5} ) and ( 2\sqrt{5} ) are like radicals because they both involve the same radicand, ( 5 ). You can simplify radicals to check if their radicands match, which helps in identifying like radicals.
Multiply by the conjugate.
