Math Problem Statement

9@RT{72}+2@RT{32}

Solution

The given expression is:

972+2329\sqrt{72} + 2\sqrt{32}

Step 1: Simplify the Square Roots

Simplifying 72\sqrt{72}:

72=36×2=36×2=62\sqrt{72} = \sqrt{36 \times 2} = \sqrt{36} \times \sqrt{2} = 6\sqrt{2}

So,

972=9×62=5429\sqrt{72} = 9 \times 6\sqrt{2} = 54\sqrt{2}

Simplifying 32\sqrt{32}:

32=16×2=16×2=42\sqrt{32} = \sqrt{16 \times 2} = \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2}

So,

232=2×42=822\sqrt{32} = 2 \times 4\sqrt{2} = 8\sqrt{2}

Step 2: Add Like Terms

Since both terms have 2\sqrt{2}, we can factor:

542+82=(54+8)2=62254\sqrt{2} + 8\sqrt{2} = (54 + 8)\sqrt{2} = 62\sqrt{2}

Final Answer:

622\mathbf{62\sqrt{2}}
