HOW DO I FIGURE THIS OUT \[6\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{2}\]
\[6\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt2 = \sqrt{2} \cdot (6-3) =3\sqrt2\]
how do i do these? \[\sqrt{90} , \sqrt{125}, 4\sqrt{20}\]
What do you want to do with them? Just simplify them as much as possible?
no have an anser like \[9\sqrt{10} or 10\sqrt{9} examples\]
This one i dont get either \[5\sqrt{10} * 3\sqrt{?}\]
i ment to put * \[3\sqrt{8}\]
Let's start with the first one.\[\sqrt{90} = \sqrt{9} \cdot \sqrt{10} = 3\sqrt{10}\]similarly, \[\sqrt{125} = \sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt{5} = 5\sqrt5\]and\[4\sqrt{20} = 4\sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt5 = 4 \cdot 2 \cdot \sqrt5 = 8\sqrt5\]
\[7\sqrt{72}\]
As for that last problem, \[5\sqrt{10} \cdot 3\sqrt8 = 15 \cdot \sqrt{10} \cdot \sqrt8 = 15 \cdot \sqrt{80}=15 \cdot \sqrt{16} \cdot \sqrt5 = 60\sqrt5\]Is it clear what you have to do for these problems now?
i dont get the one i posted or the 4/20 one.
would this one \[\sqrt{8} * \sqrt{3}\] = \[\sqrt{24}\]?
would this one \[\sqrt{8} * \sqrt{3}\] = \[\sqrt{24}\]?
That would be correct. Good job! As for the other problems, give me a few more seconds to finish typing up the response...

Well, both the 7/72 and 4/20 are basically the same problem with different numbers. You have an expression with some number outside the radical (4 and 7), and a number inside (20 and 72). At the beginning, you can just ignore the number outside. Then simplify the radical as much as possible. In this case, \[\sqrt{72} = \sqrt{36} \cdot \sqrt2 = 6\sqrt2\]and \[\sqrt{20} = \sqrt4 \cdot \sqrt5 =2\sqrt5\]Then, to finish it all off, you multiply by the number you originally had in front. So,\[7\sqrt{72}=7\cdot(6\sqrt2) = 42\sqrt2\]\[4\sqrt{20}=4\cdot (2\sqrt5)=8\sqrt5\]And those would be the final answers. Also, with the square root of 24, it would be better to then simplify like so\[\sqrt{24} = \sqrt4 \cdot \sqrt6 = 2\sqrt6\]
i see... ok. Thanks so much!
Could you now simplify \[4\sqrt{45}\]just for a little bit more practice?
