Question 151983: I am not getting the answers that are provided for me for the following equation...

fourth root √36 √5
how would you simplify
I started by multiplying fourth root √36 by 1/4 and I got √9 so √9 X √5 = √45
√45= √9 √5= 3√5
thats not an option for me, what am I doing wrong?

the 4th root is the quantity that is multiplied by itself 4 times to get the desired number __ it is the square root of the square root

eg. __ 2 is the 4th root of 16 __ 2*2*2*2=16 __ sqrt(16)=4 __ sqrt(4)=2

4th root of 36 is sqrt(6)

sqrt(6)*sqrt(5)=sqrt(30)
