simplify the radical expression
\[\sqrt{500}\]
Which factor of 500 is a perfect square?
sorry comp froze
um 10 x 50?
hello
set 500 = 100 * 5
oh so i was kindve on the right track
see how to simplify this sqrt(500) = sqrt(100 * 5) then use the property : sqrt(a * b) = sqrt(a) * sqrt(b) so, sqrt(100 * 5) = sqrt(100) * sqrt(5) = 10 sqrt(5)
is the answer\[\sqrt[5]{10}\]
oh so its the other way around \[\sqrt[10]{5}\]
thanks
no, that's different. just 10 * sqrt(5) |dw:1374509974135:dw|
its not the same check mark i was just using it because it look simliar
My bad. I was afk. >_<
afk?
Away From Keyboard.
lol oooohhhhh im sorry im old i dont know what what means anymore my niece text me with smh and im like HUH and she like skaing my head i was like wow im old
Anyway, 100 is a factor of 500, and is also a perfect square. What number mulitply by 100 will give you 500? It's obvious 5. So it would look like: \[\large \large \sqrt{100 \times 5}\] So what is the square root of 100? 10. Therefore, 10^2 = 100. So you would move the root of the perfect square out from under the radical sign. \[\large \large \sqrt{500} = \sqrt{100\times5} = 10\sqrt{5}\]
thats the check i was trying to make lol thank u
No problem. :)
