Help, one question, I will fan and medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{10} \times \sqrt{8}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10^a *8^a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what? thats not a choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's a hint

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you see sqrt(x) = x^(1/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10^.5 * 8^.5 your expression is equivelent to that which is 80^.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \[4\sqrt{5}\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt(80) can be simplified further

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt(80) = sqrt(16)*sqrt(5) = 4*sqrt(5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{80}= \sqrt{16 x 5 }= 4 \sqrt{5}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whenever in doubt turn sqrt(a) int a^(1/2) and use the exponent properties and rules :)
