\[\sqrt{3} + 4\sqrt{3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
simple - apply distributive property
\[1*\sqrt{3}+4*\sqrt{3}=(1+4)\sqrt{3}=5\sqrt{3}\]

\[2\sqrt{6} + 3\sqrt{96}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok ill guide you...
first factorise 96 under the root sign and see which factors form pairs
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3*32=96

factorise completely----Prime Factorisation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
96 = 2*2*2*2*2*3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Now see what pairs can you form ans write as square (^2)

this is not prime factorisation !!
Prime Factorisation of 96 = 2*2*2*2*2*3=2^2 *2^2 * 6
so root(96) = root(2^2 *2^2 * 6) = 2*2*root(6)

\[2\sqrt{6}+3\sqrt{96}=2\sqrt{6}+3\sqrt{2*2*2*2*2*3}=2\sqrt{6}+3\sqrt{2^{2}*2^{2}*6}\]

\[5\sqrt{96}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[=2\sqrt{6}+3*2*2*\sqrt{6}=2\sqrt{6}+12\sqrt{6}=(2+12)\sqrt{6}=14\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[14\sqrt{96}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[=14\sqrt{6}\]
