Moi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

working on it give me a sec

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Sure, :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt(3a)+16asqrt(3a)===>17sqrt(3a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no xtra A

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

why? where does it goes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt(3a)+8sqrt(12a^(3)) Pull all perfect square roots out from under the radical. In this case, remove the 2a because it is a perfect square. sqrt(3a)+(8*2asqrt(3a)) Multiply 8 by 2a to get 16a. sqrt(3a)+(16a)sqrt(3a) Remove the parentheses around the expression 16a. sqrt(3a)+16asqrt(3a)

hero (hero):

Yeah, that's the correct answer

hero (hero):

and the way it should be written...

hero (hero):

the a goes before the root not after it

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

the answer is \[\Huge \sqrt{3a}(16a+1)\]

hero (hero):

I don't disagree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the same thing in a different form

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

No, tht isnt same!

hero (hero):

Whose online test are you taking this time?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

there is a extra 'a'

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

someone's ;)

hero (hero):

There's no extra a dummy

hero (hero):

I mean guru

hero (hero):

the right amount of a's are there

hero (hero):

so if it's the right answer, there could never be an extra a, if there was it would be one a too many and it would be wrong

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

in the photo u can see, its 16root(3a) a. because of that last a, u cant add them!

hero (hero):

Yes, you're right, you can't add them...so factoring out the sqrt(3a) was a good step....

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

hmmm! :(
