√a^236a^4b^10

OpenStudy (callisto):

Is the question \(\sqrt{a^{236}a^4b^{10}}\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whoops, typed it wrong. It is √36a^4b^10

OpenStudy (callisto):

So, is it \(\sqrt{36a^4b^{10}}\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the squareroot sign means you halve all the exponents, try doing that:: \[\sqrt({6^{2}}a ^{4}b ^{10})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

These are the answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what an exponent is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I'm aware of what an exponent is.

OpenStudy (callisto):

Hint: \[\sqrt{36a^4b^{10}}\]\[=\sqrt{6^2a^4b^{10}}\]\[=\sqrt{(6a^2b^5)^2}\]\[=...?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look @callis hint, remember a squareroot is like raising a number to 1/2
