Simlify each expression
2 square 6ab multiplied by 3 square 15ab^3
-------------
Do you mean square root and cube root?
%28%286ab%29%5E%281%2F2%29%29%2A%2815ab%5E3%29%5E%281%2F3%29
If that's what you meant:
Make the exponents equal, 1/6.
=%28%28216a%5E3b%5E3%29%5E%281%2F6%29%29%2A%28225a%5E2b%5E6%29%5E%281%2F6%29
Since the exponents are the same, you can multiply
=%28216a%5E3b%2A225a%5E2b%5E6%29%5E%281%2F6%29
=%28216%2A225a%5E5b%5E7%29%5E%281%2F6%29
=b%2A%2848600a%5E5b%29%5E%281%2F6%29
"Simplified" can be a matter of opinion.
