Math Problem Statement

Can you answer this radicals?

4√7 + √28 - √63

Solution

To simplify this expression involving radicals, we proceed by simplifying each square root term:

The expression given is: 47+28634\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{28} - \sqrt{63}

Step 1: Simplify each square root term

  1. 28\sqrt{28}: 28=4×7=4×7=27\sqrt{28} = \sqrt{4 \times 7} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{7} = 2\sqrt{7}

  2. 63\sqrt{63}: 63=9×7=9×7=37\sqrt{63} = \sqrt{9 \times 7} = \sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{7} = 3\sqrt{7}

Step 2: Substitute and combine terms

Now we substitute back into the expression: 47+27374\sqrt{7} + 2\sqrt{7} - 3\sqrt{7}

Combine the terms by adding and subtracting the coefficients of 7\sqrt{7}: (4+23)7=37(4 + 2 - 3)\sqrt{7} = 3\sqrt{7}

Final Answer

47+2863=374\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{28} - \sqrt{63} = 3\sqrt{7}
