\n" ); document.write( "1. \"sqrt%2850%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " = \"sqrt%2810%2A5%29\" <---- should be \"sqrt%2825%2A2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " = \"sqrt%2810%29%2A%285%29\" <--- should be \"sqrt%2825%29%2A+sqrt%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " = \"5%2Asqrt%285%29\" <--- should be \"5%2Asqrt%282%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The thing to do is to begin by looking at 50 and trying to find some factor or factors
\n" ); document.write( "that are squares. In this case 25 is a factor of 50 that has a \"nice\" square root of 5.
\n" ); document.write( "The comments after the <---- show you the way to simplify the problem step by step and the
\n" ); document.write( "answer to this problem is \"5%2Asqrt%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2. \"sqrt%2872x%5E3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " =\"9%2Ax%5E2%2A8x\"<---- the biggest factor of 72 that is a square is 36. Use \"36x%5E2%2A2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "This converts the problem to \"sqrt%2836%2Ax%5E2%29%2Asqrt%282%2Ax%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "=\"3x%2Asqrt%288x%29+=3x%2Asqrt%282x%29\" <---- should be \"6x%2Asqrt%282x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You had the right idea here. Your last step almost got the correct answer. Your last
\n" ); document.write( "step should have been:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "=
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "and this is the correct answer.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this gives you a little more insight to the problem. You seem to have the basic idea
\n" ); document.write( "of solving problems such as these and just needed a couple of minor suggestions to get you
\n" ); document.write( "back on track. Keep up the good work.
