Demonstrate the equivalence of the expression by writing it
Demonstrate the equivalence of the expression by writing it in simplified radical form. Please show your steps!
x2 (20)1/2 (2x)-1/2 (5y)1/2
Solution
x^2(20)^1/2(2x)^-1/2(5y)^1/2
simplying the equation:
= (x^2*x^-1/2)4^(1/2)*(5)^(1/2+1/2)(y)^1/2
=x^3/2*(2)*(5)*(y^1/2)
=x^(3/2)10y^1/2
= 10x^3/2*y^1/2
