Answer 1

Bring it on

Answer 2

Okay whatcha got?

Answer 3

\[11\sqrt{49a^5/4a^3}\]

Answer 4

How do I solve this?

Answer 5

is that 11th root or 11 times the square root?

Answer 6

11 times the sqaure root.

Answer 7

oh then this is fairly simple

Answer 8

first simplify everything under the radical
\[\sqrt{\frac{ 49a ^{5} }{ 4a ^{3} }}=\sqrt{\frac{ 49a ^{2} }{ 4 }}\]

Answer 9

now what's the square root of 49, a^2, and 4?

Answer 10

49^2=7a and 4=2

Answer 11

great! so now you have \[11(\frac{ 7a }{ 2 })\] just multiply and that's as simplified as you are going to get

Answer 12

Si it should be 77a/2

Answer 13

yes
