Math Problem Statement

simplify 80 \sqrt{80}\text{ }to the form aba\sqrt{b}

Solution

To simplify 80\sqrt{80} into the form aba\sqrt{b}, follow these steps:

  1. Find the prime factorization of 80: 80=24×580 = 2^4 \times 5

  2. Rewrite 80\sqrt{80} as 24×5\sqrt{2^4 \times 5}.

  3. Split the square root: 80=24×5\sqrt{80} = \sqrt{2^4} \times \sqrt{5}

  4. Simplify 24\sqrt{2^4}: 24=22=4\sqrt{2^4} = 2^2 = 4

  5. Now, you have: 80=45\sqrt{80} = 4\sqrt{5}

Thus, 80\sqrt{80} simplified is 454\sqrt{5}.
