Question 280543: Good morning guys.
My question:
Simplfy sqrt (a^5b^6)
Since I was confused I simplified them while separate.
a^5 becomes a^2 And. b^6 becomes | b^3 |
And so I combine those two and get for an answer
a^2 | b^3 | sqrt A
It is one out of four other options which are
a^2b^3
| a^2b^3 | sqrt A
| a^2 | b^3 sqrt a^2b^4
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Simplfy sqrt (a^5b^6)
Since I was confused I simplified them while separate.
a^5 becomes a^2 And. b^6 becomes | b^3 |
-------------- There's no need for Absolute values
sqrt(b^6) is just b^3
-------------------
And so I combine those two and get for an answer
a^2 | b^3 | sqrt A
It is one out of four other options which are
a^2b^3
-------------
| a^2b^3 | sqrt A Except for the ABS, it's this one.
-------------
| a^2 | b^3 sqrt a^2b^4
--> a%5E2b%5E3%2Asqrt%28a%29
