Math Problem Statement

Calculate 7√6 × √5. Give your answer as an integer or as a surd in its simplest form.

Solution

To solve the given problem:

We are asked to calculate 76×57\sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{5}.

Solution:

  1. Use the property of square roots: a×b=ab\sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \cdot b}. 6×5=65=30.\sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{5} = \sqrt{6 \cdot 5} = \sqrt{30}.

  2. Multiply 77 by 30\sqrt{30}: 730.7 \sqrt{30}.

Final Answer:

7307\sqrt{30}

This is the simplest form, as 30\sqrt{30} cannot be simplified further (30 is not a perfect square, nor does it contain a square factor).
