Question

Using complete sentences, explain the two ways to simplify sqrt(147) and provide the simplified form. You can show a square root by writing "sqrt()". For example, can be written as "sqrt(2)".

Answer 1

setting 147 = 3 * 49
so, sqrt(147) = sqrt(3 * 49) = sqrt(3) * sqrt(49) = 7 sqrt)3)

does that make sense ?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

but what about another way

Answer 4

nothing :)

Answer 5

what do you mean is that the only way

Answer 6

ah, maybe like this
sqrt(147)
= sqrt(3 * 49)
= sqrt(3) sqrt(49)
= sqrt(3) (49)^1/2
= sqrt(3) (7^2)^1/2
= sqrt(3) 7^(2 * 1/2)
= 7 sqrt(3)
a bit different, heh :)

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

but the result is same :)

Answer 9

oh

Answer 10

thanks

Answer 11
