Math Problem Statement

the square root of 32 and the square root of 2 and the square root of 8 = < >

Solution

To evaluate and compare the expressions involving the square roots of 32, 2, and 8, let's break them down individually:

  1. 32\sqrt{32}:
    We can simplify 32\sqrt{32} as: 32=16×2=16×2=42\sqrt{32} = \sqrt{16 \times 2} = \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2} So, 32=42\sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2}.

  2. 2\sqrt{2}:
    This is already in its simplest form. So, 2\sqrt{2} remains 2\sqrt{2}.

  3. 8\sqrt{8}:
    We can simplify 8\sqrt{8} as: 8=4×2=4×2=22\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2} So, 8=22\sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2}.

Now, let's compare them:

  • 32=42\sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2}
  • 8=22\sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2}
  • 2=2\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2}

Clearly, we can see the following relationship: 42>22>24\sqrt{2} > 2\sqrt{2} > \sqrt{2} So, 32>8>2\sqrt{32} > \sqrt{8} > \sqrt{2}.
