Question 13754: My problem is a square root problem that has a number outside of the root symbol?

Question 13755: Hello
I was hoping you could clear this up for me! I know that the root of x times the root of x just equals x (√x X √x = x), however, does the root of x times the square of x simplifify to something? (√x X x^2 = ???) I tried subbing in different values to see if I could see a clear pattern, however I couldn't figure it out.
Thanks for your help!
-Sarah
solution
we know that (√x )=x^1/2
so
(√x X x^2 = x^1/2.x^2
x^1/2.x^2 =x^1/2+2
x^1/2+2=x^5/2 answer

Question 13949: Yuck! I am having so many problems tonight! Here goes Solve by extracting roots. Round answers to two decimal places. 1.5x^2 = .7x^2 + 26.2. This is what I am doing and I keep coming up with wrong answers. I subtracted the .7 from both sides and came up with .8x^2 = 26.2. My final answer was x=32.75. I divided the .8 from both sides. However, back of the book has a completely different answer
