Question

What is the simplified sum of √3+√12=

Answer 1

Hint √12 = √ (4 * 3 ) = ....?

Answer 2

the sqrt(12) = 2 sqrt(3)
so sqrt(3) + 2 sqrt(3) is your solution

Answer 3

It can be simpler.

Answer 4

sqrt(3) is IMPLIED 1*sqrt(3) . What is 1 + 2?

Answer 5

All i care about is her understanding the methods on how to get it, regardless of how to do it

ok

Answer 10

You didn't provide any method, you provided a solution ..... :/

Here, you can rewrite sqrt(12) like @Chlorophyll said.

Answer 11

sqrt(12) = the terms sqrt(4) * sqrt(3)
sqrt(4) = 2 which stays on the outside of the radical 2sqrt(3) + sqrt(3)
which is the solution
