Math Problem Statement

Simplify \(\sqrt{6(\sqrt{2} + 3)}\).

Solution

To simplify the given expression:

6(2+3)\sqrt{6(\sqrt{2} + 3)}

We will work step by step:

Step 1: Distribute inside the square root

Using the distributive property, expand 6(2+3)6(\sqrt{2} + 3):

6(2+3)=62+186(\sqrt{2} + 3) = 6\sqrt{2} + 18

So the expression becomes:

62+18\sqrt{6\sqrt{2} + 18}

Step 2: Factor out a common factor (if possible)

Notice that 1818 and 626\sqrt{2} do not simplify further since they don’t have common radicals. Thus, the simplified form remains:

62+18\sqrt{6\sqrt{2} + 18}

This is as simplified as possible unless further clarification is given about breaking it into prime factors or further factoring.

Questions for You:

  1. Do you want to rewrite the expression as a decimal approximation instead?
  2. Should I simplify further under additional constraints?
  3. Are you looking to expand this into a polynomial expression?
  4. Is there a specific technique you'd like me to explore for radical simplification?
  5. Would you like to see examples of similar problems?

Tip:

When simplifying square roots, always look for common factors that can be factored out to reduce the expression.
