2 sqrt 50y ^9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you need?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10y^3 sqrt 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(simplified solution)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still do not understand what you want here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think she wants us to simplify the square root eqation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

elizated what steps did you use to get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2\sqrt{50y^9}\] \[2y^3\sqrt{50}\] \[10y^3\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that first equation is the one you started with, yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is what we started with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, if it still doesnt make sense I can break it down more if you need.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer in the book is 10y^4 sqrt 2y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Still a little puzzled on the process.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHhhh, sorry I see my mistake. When I took the square root of y^9, I forgot it was (y^4)(y^4)(y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, first break the problem into bits: 2 \[\sqrt{50}\] \[\sqrt{y^9}\] the sqrt 50 is sqrt25 x sqrt 2 and the sqrt of y^9 is the sqrt of (y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)

Try to work it out from there, I have to go right now
