Math Problem Statement

Write this expression in simplest radical form

Write this expression in simplest radical form: \( \sqrt{100x^2} \)

Solution

The expression provided is 100x2\sqrt{100x^2}. To simplify this radical expression:

  1. Break the square root into two parts: 100x2=100×x2\sqrt{100x^2} = \sqrt{100} \times \sqrt{x^2}

  2. Simplify each square root:

    • 100=10\sqrt{100} = 10
    • x2=x\sqrt{x^2} = x (assuming x0x \geq 0)
  3. Therefore, the simplified form is: 10x10x

The expression 100x2\sqrt{100x^2} simplifies to 10x10x.
