what is the exact value of the expression?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{45}-\sqrt{75}+\sqrt{192}\]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

\[ \large \sqrt{45}=\sqrt{5\cdot9}=3\sqrt{5} \]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

do the same with the other roots.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the sqrt75 i got sqrt5*7*2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im stuck there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think \(75=25\times 3\)

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh..makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

making \(\sqrt{75}=\sqrt{25\times 3}=\sqrt{25}\times \sqrt{3}=5\sqrt{3}\)

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

now do the same with 192

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

\[ \large \sqrt{192}= \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 4sqrt6?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

i got \[ \large \sqrt{192}=\sqrt{2^6\cdot3}=2^3\cdot\sqrt{3}=8\sqrt{3} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay. i missed a 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how would i simplify all that?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

now plug in everything: \[ \large \sqrt{45}-\sqrt{75}+\sqrt{192}=3\sqrt{5}-5\sqrt{3}+8\sqrt{3} \]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

now combine like terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you add or multiply?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

add or substract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay so 6 sqrt 11?

OpenStudy (goformit100):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thx

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

\[ \large =3\sqrt{5}+3\sqrt{3}=3(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}) \]
