Use the properties for radicals to simplify each of the following expressions. Assume that
all variables represent positive real numbers.

Use the properties for radicals to simplify each of the following expressions. Assume that
all variables represent positive real numbers.
radical (12x^3)/(5)
--------------
sqrt[(12x^3)/5]
Multiply numerator and denominator by 5 to get:
[sqrt(60x^3)]/5
Simplify the numerator to get:
[2xsqrt(15x)]/5
You could rewrite this as:
(2/5)xsqrt(15x)
