Math Problem Statement

3√6(√7 - √2)

Solution

The expression you've provided is:

36(72)3 \sqrt{6} \left( \sqrt{7} - \sqrt{2} \right)

To simplify this, let's distribute 363 \sqrt{6} to both terms inside the parentheses:

=36×736×2= 3 \sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{7} - 3 \sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{2}

We can now multiply the square roots:

=342312= 3 \sqrt{42} - 3 \sqrt{12}

Next, simplify 12\sqrt{12}:

12=4×3=23\sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = 2 \sqrt{3}

Thus, the expression becomes:

=34263= 3 \sqrt{42} - 6 \sqrt{3}

So the final simplified expression is:

342633 \sqrt{42} - 6 \sqrt{3}

Would you like further clarification on any step or more details?

Here are five related questions to consider:

  1. How do you multiply square roots with coefficients?
  2. What is the method to simplify a square root like 12\sqrt{12}?
  3. Can this expression be simplified further by approximating the square roots numerically?
  4. What are some common strategies to handle expressions with multiple square roots?
  5. What are the real-world applications of simplifying expressions like this?

Tip: Always look for perfect squares within a square root to simplify expressions effectively.
