I do not understand how to put regular square root problems into the simpelest radical form. For example, if i have the Square root of 125 how do i break that down? If you could give me a step by step guide that would be so helpfull for not only this problem but others like it. Thank you.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Always factor what's under the radical. 125 = 5*5*5
\n" ); document.write( "So sqrt(125) = sqrt(5*5*5)
\n" ); document.write( "= sqrt((5^2)*5)
\n" ); document.write( "= sqrt(5^2)*sqrt(5)
\n" ); document.write( "= 5sqrt(5)
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Factor it, look for even exponents, split it up and simplify it.
