Math Problem Statement

Simplify \( \sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{3} \).

Solution

To simplify the expression 23\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{3}, we can use the property of square roots that states:

ab=ab\sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \cdot b}

In this case, a=2a = 2 and b=3b = 3, so:

23=23=6\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{3} = \sqrt{2 \cdot 3} = \sqrt{6}

Thus, the simplified form is 6\sqrt{6}.

  3. Can square roots be simplified when they have variables under them?
  4. How do you multiply square roots when one of them is a fraction?
  5. What is the difference between square roots and cube roots in simplification?

Tip: Always look for opportunities to combine square roots when possible to simplify the expression more efficiently.
