Simplify the expression √5 × 3√15

Solution

The expression given in the image is:

5×315\sqrt{5} \times 3\sqrt{15}

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Multiply the constants:

    • There is an implicit constant of 1 in front of 5\sqrt{5}, so multiply 1×3=31 \times 3 = 3.
  2. Multiply the square roots: 5×15=5×15=75\sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{15} = \sqrt{5 \times 15} = \sqrt{75}

  3. Now, simplify 75\sqrt{75}: 75=25×3=25×3=53\sqrt{75} = \sqrt{25 \times 3} = \sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{3}

  4. Finally, multiply by the constant 3: 3×53=1533 \times 5\sqrt{3} = 15\sqrt{3}

Final Answer:

15315\sqrt{3}
