Math Problem Statement

Simplify the square root of 20a^10b^6c^9

Solution

The image shows a square root expression with variables. The expression seems to be:

20a10b6c9\sqrt{20a^{10}b^6c^9}

To simplify this:

  1. Break down each part:

    • 20\sqrt{20}
    • a10\sqrt{a^{10}}
    • b6\sqrt{b^6}
    • c9\sqrt{c^9}
  2. Simplify the square roots of the variables:

    • a10=a5\sqrt{a^{10}} = a^5 (since a10=a10/2=a5\sqrt{a^{10}} = a^{10/2} = a^5)
    • b6=b3\sqrt{b^6} = b^3 (since b6=b6/2=b3\sqrt{b^6} = b^{6/2} = b^3)
    • c9=c4c\sqrt{c^9} = c^4\sqrt{c} (since c9=c9/2=c4c\sqrt{c^9} = c^{9/2} = c^4\sqrt{c})
  3. Simplify 20\sqrt{20}:

    • 20=4×5=25\sqrt{20} = \sqrt{4 \times 5} = 2\sqrt{5}
  4. Final Simplification: 20a10b6c9=2a5b3c45c\sqrt{20a^{10}b^6c^9} = 2a^5b^3c^4\sqrt{5c}

Thus, the simplified expression is:

2a5b3c45c2a^5b^3c^4\sqrt{5c}
