Question

Can someone help explain this process to me? Its on the Radical Expressions and Equations Unit Test.
square root sign/250h^4k^5. I'm not really sure how you would write that, but I really need to understand the process of how to solve this.

Answer 1

how to write what?

Answer 2

square root sign/250h^4k^5.

Answer 3

do you just need to simplify it?

Answer 4

I only really know how to do really simple problems.

Answer 5

I think i need to actually solve it but simplifying is a start.

Answer 6

\(
250 \implies 25*5*2
\)

Answer 7

okay. I understand that.

Answer 8

and thus \( \sqrt{25}*\sqrt{5*2} \implies 5\sqrt{10}\)

Answer 9

But what do you do with the exponents?

Answer 10

\(
250 \implies 25*5*2
\) and thus \( \sqrt{25}*\sqrt{5*2} \implies 5\sqrt{10}\)
$$
h^4=\pmatrix{h^2}^2\\
k^5=\pmatrix{k^2}^2*k^1\\
\text{so what you have in the end is}\\
\sqrt{5^2*10*\pmatrix{h^2}^2*\pmatrix{k^2}^2*k}
$$

Answer 11

Okay. I think i got that. Is that it? Like, would that be the final stage in solving the problem or is there another step?
