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):

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

\[ \large \sqrt{192}= \]
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):
\[ \large =3\sqrt{5}+3\sqrt{3}=3(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}) \]
