\[\sqrt{12} + 3\sqrt{75}\] and \[\sqrt{20} + 2\sqrt{45} - 3\sqrt{80}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[12=4\times 3\] so
\[\sqrt{12}=\sqrt{4\times 3}=\sqrt{4}\times \sqrt{3}=2\sqrt{3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
similarly
\[75=25\times 3\] and so
\[\sqrt{75}=5\sqrt{3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
s o your first question is
\[sqrt{12}+3\sqrt{75}=2\sqrt{3}+3\times 5\sqrt{3}=2\sqrt{3}+15\sqrt{3}=18\sqrt{3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its pretty easy, just check if perfect squares are factors of the think under the sqrt

actually 2 + 15 = 17 doesn't it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1,4,9,16,25,36 ... etc
OpenStudy (anonymous):
like for sqrt (80)
16 x 5 = 80
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so i suppose unless i made some other mistake
\[17\sqrt{3}\] is it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and 16 is 4^2

so sqrt(80) = 4 sqrt(5)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thank You very much for the explanation satellite and also thank you elecengineer !
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for the second question
sqrt(20)
4 is a factor of 20
so that = sqrt(2^2 x 5 ) = sqrt(2^2) x sqrt(5) = 2sqrt(5)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
similairly with 45, 9 is a factor , which is 3^2
