simplify: 3 radical x^4y^5 times radical xy, which can be written:
3(sqrt{x^4y^5})(sqrt{xy}
Multiply separately:
sqrt{x^4y^5} times sqrt{xy} = sqrt{x^5y^6}
Then:
sqrt{x^5y^6} = sqrt{x^4}, sqrt{x}, sqrt{y^6}
sqrt{x^4} = x^2
sqrt{x} remains the same.
sqrt{y^6} = y^3
Final answer:
3x^2y^3(sqrt{x})
Got it?
