The radical of the product of two ideals is the intersection of the radicals of the ideals

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring (not sure if "Noetherianness" is needed). I'm trying to show that $r(IJ)=r(I)cap r(J)$ ($r$ for radical).



One direction looks easy. If $xin r(IJ)$, then for some $k$, $x^kin IJ$. Since $IJsubset Icap J$, $x^kin Icap J$, so $xin r(I)cap r(J)$.



The other direction is not clear to me. Let $xin r(I)cap r(J)$. Then $x^nin I, x^min J$. So $x^{max(n,m)}in Icap J$. If $I+J=R$, then $Icap Jsubset IJ$, and I would be able to conclude that $xin r(IJ)$. But it need not be the casse that $I+J=R$. How do I proceed then?

    If $x^nin I$ and $x^min J$, then $x^{n+m}in IJ$.

    @LordSharktheUnknown Oh well apparently I didn't bother to consider $x^nx^m=x^{n+m}$...
