Math Problem Statement

Simplify the following:

53√6√

Question 5Answer

a. 53√6

b. 52√3√

c. 5(2)3√

d. 52√2

Solution

It looks like you're asking to simplify the expression 5365\sqrt{3}\sqrt{6}.

Let's break it down:

  1. When you have two square roots multiplied together, you can combine them into one square root:

536=53×6=5185\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{6} = 5\sqrt{3 \times 6} = 5\sqrt{18}

  1. Next, simplify 18\sqrt{18}. Since 18=9×218 = 9 \times 2, and 9=3\sqrt{9} = 3, we have:

18=9×2=32\sqrt{18} = \sqrt{9 \times 2} = 3\sqrt{2}

  1. Therefore, the entire expression becomes:

536=5×32=1525\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{6} = 5 \times 3\sqrt{2} = 15\sqrt{2}

Thus, the simplified form of 5365\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{6} is:

152\boxed{15\sqrt{2}}

It appears that none of the options perfectly match this form. If the expression you gave is correct, the answer should be 15215\sqrt{2}, which is not listed in your options.

  1. How do you simplify expressions with multiple square roots?
  2. What other rules apply to simplifying radical expressions?
  3. Can you simplify ab\sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} with different types of radicals?
  4. What if the original expression had cube roots? How would that change the process?
  5. What happens when you have a cube root of a product like 643\sqrt[3]{6 \cdot 4}?

Tip: Always try to simplify radicals by factoring numbers inside the square root to look for perfect squares or cubes.
