Which number equals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{1,792}\]

OpenStudy (goformit100):

may be 42.33

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are your answer choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 4 sqt 7 16 sqt 7 7 sqt 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, you have to break down the number in the radical to equal one perfect square and one non perfect square. What do you think they are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need help with it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll give you an example. \[\sqrt{50}\] will equal to... \[\sqrt{25 \times 2}\] can also be written as... \[\sqrt{25} \times \sqrt2\] And finally, your answer will be... \[5\sqrt2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Let's apply the elimination method first. Which of your choices you know cannot be the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. Now we look at answer choices B, C and D. Of them, they have two different numbers in the radicals: 7 and 14.

OpenStudy (goformit100):

7 sqt 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, let's test each of the answers. We start with 7. 1792/7 =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

256

OpenStudy (goformit100):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Is 256 a perfect square? If it is, what is it's root?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 7 sqt 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on. now we're at... \[\sqrt{7 \times 256}\] What is \[\sqrt{256}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll tell you this much, it's a perfect square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and it's not D.
