If you're asked to simplify an expression, you need to expand all brackets if there are any, and collect all like terms. If the question is a fraction you have to give the answer in its simplest form

You add (or subtract) like terms. This will reduce the number of terms in the expression and that is the extent of simplification that you can achieve using this process.
The correct simplification of the expression b^5 x b^4 is b^(5+4) which equals b^9. This is because when multiplying two terms with the same base, you add the exponents. In this case, b^5 x b^4 simplifies to b^(5+4) which is equal to b^9.
Suppose the expression under the radical sign is y. Then the first step is to simplify y. Next find a term (or expression) x, such that y = x^2*z for some term (or expression) z. Then x*sqrt(z) is a simplification of sqrt(y).
