Math Problem Statement

The page contains exercises involving simplifying square roots, extracting factors, and performing operations with radicals.

Solution

I see the page contains exercises involving simplifying square roots and other radical expressions. I will go over some problems in more detail:

41. Simplify expressions by factoring under the square root:

For example:

  • 50=25×2=52\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25 \times 2} = 5\sqrt{2}
  • 372=3×36×2=1823\sqrt{72} = 3 \times \sqrt{36 \times 2} = 18\sqrt{2}
  • 80=16×5=45\sqrt{80} = \sqrt{16 \times 5} = 4\sqrt{5}

42. Extract factors from under the square root:

For example:

  • 18=9×2=32\sqrt{18} = \sqrt{9 \times 2} = 3\sqrt{2}
  • 24=4×6=26\sqrt{24} = \sqrt{4 \times 6} = 2\sqrt{6}

44. Perform operations and simplify results:

For example:

  • 88=64=8\sqrt{8} \cdot \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{64} = 8
  • 5464=5432=36\sqrt{54} \cdot \frac{6}{4} = \sqrt{54} \cdot \frac{3}{2} = 3\sqrt{6}

Would you like more detailed solutions for a specific exercise or additional clarifications on any topic?


Here are five follow-up questions you might find helpful:

  1. How do you simplify ab\sqrt{a \cdot b} into its factored form?
  2. What happens when you multiply two square roots xy\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{y}?
  3. How do you simplify n2\sqrt{n^2}, where nn is an integer?
  4. How do you handle negative signs inside a square root, like 16\sqrt{-16}?
  5. What is the process to rationalize the denominator in an expression like 12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}?

Tip: Always look for perfect square factors inside the square root to simplify expressions easily.
