Math Problem Statement

Rewrite each expression below in simple radical form.  Question 1324\text{Question }1\text{: }3\sqrt{24}

Solution

To simplify the radical expression 3243\sqrt{24}, follow these steps:

  1. Factorize 24:
    24=4×624 = 4 \times 6 Since 4=224 = 2^2, you can express 24\sqrt{24} as: 24=4×6=4×6\sqrt{24} = \sqrt{4 \times 6} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{6}

  2. Simplify the square root of 4:
    4=2\sqrt{4} = 2 Therefore: 24=26\sqrt{24} = 2\sqrt{6}

  3. Multiply by the coefficient 33: 324=3×26=663\sqrt{24} = 3 \times 2\sqrt{6} = 6\sqrt{6}

Thus, the simplified form of 3243\sqrt{24} is 66\boxed{6\sqrt{6}}.
