Write a radical in which the radicand consists of a coefficient and a variable. Use a coefficient that can be simplified best using the greatest perfect square method. Then, simplify the radical completely. You can use "sqrt()" to show a square root. For example, 7 times the square root of a can be written as 7sqrt(a).

what is the actual question?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh make up your own?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then make one up!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh i see, you have to make one that can be "simplified" i.e. written in simplest radical form

since \(5^2=25\) and \(2\times 25=50\) how about starting with
\[\sqrt{50x^4}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then you can "simplify" it as
\[5x^2\sqrt{2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or make up one of your own
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok so, I would just put sqrt(50x^4) then say once it is simplified it becomes, 5x^2sqrt(2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you certainly could
