Question

3 square root-540x^15y^20 raise to the power or root. Assumethat all variables represent positive numbers.?????

Answer 1

\[3\sqrt{-540x ^{15y ^{20}}}\]
is this correct?

Answer 2

yes it is

Answer 3

Here you can do a prime factorization on 540. You can pull out the two squares from that. Then you can also take the most x^2's that you can. For example, the most x^2's you can take out of x^15 is 14, and you have one left over.

Answer 4

i do not understand

Answer 5

Do you know how to do a prime factorization?

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

A prime factorization is essentially boiling down a large number into a product of prime numbers. Like so:

All of the numbers enclosed by the dotted line are the prime factors of 540. That means:
540 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 5
