Math Problem Statement

Write \( \frac{12\sqrt{30}}{\sqrt{3}} \) as an integer or as a surd in its simplest form.

Solution

Let's solve the problem step by step.

We are given the expression:

12303\frac{12 \sqrt{30}}{\sqrt{3}}

Step 1: Simplify the surd division

Using the property of square roots: ab=ab\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}} = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}

303=303=10.\frac{\sqrt{30}}{\sqrt{3}} = \sqrt{\frac{30}{3}} = \sqrt{10}.

So the expression becomes: 1210.12 \sqrt{10}.

Final Answer:

The simplest form of the given expression is: 1210.12 \sqrt{10}.
