Simplify the expression

Simplify the expression 4√(28z) + √(63z)

Solution

Let's solve the given problem:
The expression is:

428z+63z4\sqrt{28z} + \sqrt{63z}

Step-by-step Simplification:

1. Simplify the square roots:

  • Break down the radicands (28z28z and 63z63z) into their prime factors and perfect squares:

    28z=47z=47z=27z.\sqrt{28z} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 7z} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{7z} = 2\sqrt{7z}.

    63z=97z=97z=37z.\sqrt{63z} = \sqrt{9 \cdot 7z} = \sqrt{9} \cdot \sqrt{7z} = 3\sqrt{7z}.

2. Substitute these simplified forms back into the expression:

428z+63z=4(27z)+37z.4\sqrt{28z} + \sqrt{63z} = 4(2\sqrt{7z}) + 3\sqrt{7z}.

3. Multiply and combine like terms:

  • Multiply 44 by 27z2\sqrt{7z}: 4(27z)=87z.4(2\sqrt{7z}) = 8\sqrt{7z}.

  • Add 87z+37z8\sqrt{7z} + 3\sqrt{7z}: 87z+37z=117z.8\sqrt{7z} + 3\sqrt{7z} = 11\sqrt{7z}.

Final Answer:

117z\boxed{11\sqrt{7z}}
