Math Problem Statement
Write answers for a to e
Solution
Let’s solve each of the expressions from a) to e) in simplest radical form:
a)
We combine the square roots by multiplying the terms inside: Now simplify:
- The square root of is (because and , so we pull out ).
- The square root of is (since ).
Thus, the simplified expression is: We can simplify the radical further: Final answer:
b)
As already shown, we can simplify this by breaking it into parts:
- The square root of is . So, the expression becomes:
c)
First, multiply the constants and powers of and :
Now simplify the square root:
Final answer:
d)
First, simplify the coefficients and powers of and :
- The coefficient is
- For , the powers become:
- For , simplify the square roots:
Thus, the final expression is:
e)
We already solved this in d), so the final simplified form is:
