Math Problem Statement

Multiply 6√6(√7 + √6) and simplify the answer as much as possible.

Solution

To solve 66(7+6)6\sqrt{6}(\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{6}), we apply the distributive property to multiply through:

  1. Expand the expression: 66(7+6)=667+666.6\sqrt{6}(\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{6}) = 6\sqrt{6} \cdot \sqrt{7} + 6\sqrt{6} \cdot \sqrt{6}.

  2. Simplify each term:

    • First term: 667=6426\sqrt{6} \cdot \sqrt{7} = 6\sqrt{42} (since 67=42\sqrt{6} \cdot \sqrt{7} = \sqrt{42}).
    • Second term: 666=66=366\sqrt{6} \cdot \sqrt{6} = 6 \cdot 6 = 36 (since 66=6\sqrt{6} \cdot \sqrt{6} = 6).
  3. Combine the simplified terms: 642+36.6\sqrt{42} + 36.

Thus, the final simplified answer is: 642+36.6\sqrt{42} + 36.
