Find the exact value of the radical expression in simplest form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{4y^3}- \sqrt{y^3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, You will need to CONJUGATE the expression. Do you know how to CONJUGATE or what CONJUGATION is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea this is what i got \[y \sqrt{3y}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2min working it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i misused it in a calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i conjugated but only got until: \[\frac{ 4y^3 - y^6 }{ \sqrt 4y^3 + \sqrt y^3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{3y^3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you do after that point?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take away the 2 sqared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the u get \[y \sqrt{3y}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the final answer is the one i posted above. it must be. theres nothing else you can do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{4y^3}- \sqrt{y^3}=2\sqrt{y^3}- \sqrt{y^3}=\sqrt{y^3}\] is a start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then \[\sqrt{y^3}=\sqrt{y^2}\sqrt{y}=y\sqrt{y}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooo that makes sence thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there isn't any fraction no need for a conjugate

OpenStudy (anonymous):
