Math Problem Statement

Express in simplest radical form.

square root of, 4, x, to the power 9 , end square root

4x9​

Solution

It looks like you're asking to simplify the expression:

4x9\sqrt{4x^9}

To simplify this, we can break it down into two parts:

  1. Square root of 4: The square root of 4 is 2, because 4=2\sqrt{4} = 2.
  2. Square root of x9x^9: To simplify the square root of x9x^9, recall that x9=x9/2=x4x1/2\sqrt{x^9} = x^{9/2} = x^4 \cdot x^{1/2}, because x9/2=x4xx^{9/2} = x^4 \cdot \sqrt{x}.

Thus, we can rewrite the expression as:

4x9=2x4x\sqrt{4x^9} = 2x^4 \sqrt{x}

So, the simplest radical form of 4x9\sqrt{4x^9} is:

2x4x2x^4 \sqrt{x}
