Ok, so I have this entire section on Radicals and Simplfying them. I do not know how the hell to do half of these questions, so if someone could show me the work for the question I will give as an example I will be grateful. Question: 4√150 Answer: √20√6 If someone could show the process used for this type of question, I will give you a cookie. Thanks.
On that site, I skimmed through it looking for the question type and it seems to have skipped this. It is one Simplified Radical, and I have to somehow simplify it further. However, when I do it the way I was taught the answer key provides an entirely different answer.
I'm pretty sure RST go it. Basically, find something that can be squared that is a multiple of the number. Example:√8 2*2*2=8 2[sup]2[/sup]*2=8 b Root of a square is the base #, so √2[sup]2[/sup] = 2. The 2 is out of the thing.2√2 the answer. Note that example is easy lol. Also, when you take the number out of the root thing, you multiply it by the other outside number.
4√150 -step 1 4√25x6 -step 2 4x5√6 -step 3 20√6 -step 4 Step 1: the problem Step 2: Find the biggest perfect square in the number Step 3: Since the perfect square is in the radical sign, take its square root and multiply it by the outside number Step 4: ta-dah
