Question 108456This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra
: Use Property 1 to simplify the following radical expressions. Assume that all variables represent positive real numbers.
Square root 72x^3
This is what I have. (I don't know how to make the square root sign here, so that is why it is typed out).
Square Root 72^3=Square Root 36 X Square Root 2 X Square Root of x^2 X Square Root of x.
This becomes 6 times the Sqare Root of 2 X Square Root of x^2 X Square Root x
I am not sure if I am heading in the correct direction. The textbook is very vague. Can you assist me on this? This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Square root 72x^3
-----------
Separate perfect-square factors from those that are not perfect squares.
---------------
sqrt(72x^3) = [sqrt(36x^2)][sqrt(2x)]
Simplify the sqrt of the perfect-square factors to get:
= 6x sqrt(2x)
==================
Follow that procedure any time you are asked to simplify
a sqrt expresion.
