Math Problem Statement

Simplify. Remove all perfect squares from inside the square root. [\sqrt{56z^7}=]

Solution

To simplify 56z7\sqrt{56z^7}, we can break down the expression under the square root and remove any perfect squares.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Factor 56 into prime factors: 56=4×14=4×2×7=22×1456 = 4 \times 14 = 4 \times 2 \times 7 = 2^2 \times 14 So we can rewrite 56z7\sqrt{56z^7} as: 4×14×z7\sqrt{4 \times 14 \times z^7}

  2. Separate perfect squares: Since 44 is a perfect square (222^2), we can take it out of the square root: 4×14×z7=414z7\sqrt{4 \times 14 \times z^7} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{14} \cdot \sqrt{z^7} =214z7= 2 \cdot \sqrt{14} \cdot \sqrt{z^7}

  3. Simplify z7\sqrt{z^7}: We can split z7z^7 as z6zz^6 \cdot z because z6z^6 is a perfect square: z7=z6z=z6z=z3z\sqrt{z^7} = \sqrt{z^6 \cdot z} = \sqrt{z^6} \cdot \sqrt{z} = z^3 \cdot \sqrt{z}

  4. Combine everything: Substitute back to get: 56z7=2z314z\sqrt{56z^7} = 2 \cdot z^3 \cdot \sqrt{14z}

Final Answer:

56z7=2z314z\sqrt{56z^7} = 2z^3\sqrt{14z}
