Write the following expression in simplified radical form.

|dw:1336251164013:dw|

OpenStudy (eyust707):

\[\sqrt{75t^7w^4} = \sqrt{75}\sqrt{t^7}\sqrt{w^4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that the answer?

OpenStudy (eyust707):

\[=\sqrt{25*3} \sqrt{t^2 * t^2 *t^2 *t} \sqrt{w^2*w^2} = \sqrt{25} \sqrt{3}\sqrt{t^2} \sqrt{t^2} \sqrt{t^2}\sqrt{t}\sqrt{w^2} \sqrt{w^2}\]

OpenStudy (eyust707):

i think you can simplify it from there...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (eyust707):

whats the sqrt of 25?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (eyust707):

okay so the sqrt 25 can be replaced with a 5...

OpenStudy (eyust707):

what about the sqrt of t^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t?

OpenStudy (eyust707):

yep! so we can replace all the sqrt(t^2) with t's

OpenStudy (eyust707):

and sqrt(w^2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

w? so the complete answer is.....?

OpenStudy (eyust707):

yep replace all the sqrt(w^2) with w's and YOU will have found the complete answer

OpenStudy (eyust707):

what do ya get ill let you know how you did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt 5wt?

OpenStudy (eyust707):

nope... we cant just magically get rid of the sqrt(3) and what about the sqrt(t) we can only replace the sqrt(t^2)

OpenStudy (eyust707):

the sqrt(t) has to stay

OpenStudy (eyust707):

Here ill do the 5 four you so you can see how to do it... \[\sqrt{25} \sqrt{3}\sqrt{t^2} \sqrt{t^2} \sqrt{t^2}\sqrt{t}\sqrt{w^2} \sqrt{w^2 } = (5) \sqrt{3}\sqrt{t^2} \sqrt{t^2} \sqrt{t^2}\sqrt{t}\sqrt{w^2} \sqrt{w^2}\] noticed how i replace the sqrt(25) with a 5? do the same thing for sqrt(t^2) and sqrt(w^2)

OpenStudy (eyust707):

for*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5 sqrt 3 wt?
