^_^ moar simplifying radicals. >.>

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

\[\Huge V.V\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{48xy ^{5}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

MAORE? Y u no understand after one example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jyesss. fool.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

48 or 49?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

49 would be nicers =]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these things are difficult for a koala.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Out kast is right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4y^2 rad 3xy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16 x 3... yeah what chess said i'm pretty sure is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Outkast, you win a medal for using a meme.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{4*4*3*y^2*y^2*y*x}=4y^2\sqrt{3yx}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

geez everyone is doing imaginary numbers riht now... i don't even remember them

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

\[\Huge \begin{array}l\color{red}{\text{R}}\color{orange}{\text{A}}\color{#9c9a2e}{\text{D}}\color{green}{\text{I}}\color{blue}{\text{C}}\color{purple}{\text{A}}\color{purple}{\text{L}}\color{red}{\text{S}}\color{orange}{\text{!}}\color{#9c9a2e}{\text{}}\end{array}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like i remember i^2 = -1 i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldnt it be 4 root 3 x^1/2 y^5/2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HELP MEHH

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at mathematticalpro's ... it shows it clearly how to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand WHY though. but anyhoo, thanks everyone.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Some things are perfect squares, other things are not. You want to isolate the perfect squares to simplify a radical. the perfect square factors of 48xy^5 are 16 (16*3=48) and y^4 (y^4 *y=y^5) So set up a square root with the perfects and another with the imperfects \[\sqrt{16y^4}\sqrt{3xy}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now simplify the perfects

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4y^2\sqrt{3xy}\]
