Question 142326: Just like soooo many others I have a radical equation that I can't figure out. It may have to do with being 12:41 in the morning, but hey I need help!!!
The instructions are Simplify the radical...
2√3x X √8 X √3x^3
I do have four choices to choose from....
A)24x^2
B)12x^2√2
C)12x√2x
D)4x^2√3

yes, it is late...or early...

the radicals can be combined (multiplied) and the whole roots extracted

2sqrt[(3x)(8)(3x^3)] __ 2sqrt[8(3^2)(x^2)^2]

2*3*2*x^2sqrt(2) __ 12x^2sqrt(2)
