The rules for "standard radical form" are that (a) there should be no perfect square within the radical sign; for example, square root of 12 is equal to square root of 4 x square root of 3 = 2 x square root of 3, and should be written as the latter; and (b) there should be no radical sign in the denominator. For example, if you have 1 / square root of 2, you multiply top and bottom by the square root of 2, to get a square root in the numerator, but none in the denominator.
