Perform the indicated operations and simplify Squareroot 80x
Perform the indicated operations and simplify. Squareroot 80x^9Y middot Squareroot 5x^2Y
Solution
(80x^9y)^(1/2)*(5x^2y)^1/2
applying radical property
sqrt (a) * sqrt (b) = sqrt (a*b)
(80x^9y)^(1/2)*(5x^2y)^1/2 = sqrt ( 80*5 * x^11* y^2)
= sqrt ( 400 * x^11 * y^2)
= sqrt 400 = 20
sqrt x^11 = x^5 * sqrt x
sqrt y^2 = y
therefore , it becomes
20 x^5 y sqrt (x)
