When you multiply a radical number with another radical number do the radical signs cancel each other out?

Not necessarily. If it is the same radical number, then the signs cancel out. Radical 5 times radical 5 equals 5. But if they are different, then you multiply the numbers and leave them under the radical sign. Example: radical 5 * radical 6 = radical 30

Can a radical be negative?

In mathematics, a radical typically refers to the root of a number, such as the square root. The value under a radical can be negative, but if we're talking about real numbers, the square root of a negative number is not defined in the real number system; instead, it results in an imaginary number. However, if you're considering other radicals, like cube roots, the radical itself can yield a negative result if the number under the radical is negative.
