Question

how do you add square roots?

Answer 1

(x)^(1/2) + x^(1/2) = 2x^(1/2)

Answer 2

\[5\sqrt{2}+3\sqrt{2}\]

Answer 3

8(2)^(1/2)

Answer 4

as long as the square roots are the same you can add them

Answer 5

so it would be \[8\sqrt{2}\]?

Answer 6

yes

Remember
sqrt(2) = (2)^(1/2)

Answer 7

Thanks.

Answer 8

you can add 5√2+3
but it would be messy as you would have to calculate the value of (2)^(1/2)*5 to add them
