Provide the simplified form of: There are two different ways?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{147}\]

@Mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Write 147 as 7^2(7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to explain the two ways to simplify it o:

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I'm not sure what it means. You could write this: \[\sqrt{147}=\sqrt{7^2\times 7}=\sqrt{7^2}\sqrt{7}=7\sqrt{7}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Or you could write this: \[\sqrt{147}=\sqrt{49}\sqrt{7}=7\sqrt{7}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll look up ways to simplify and see if I get it. Thanks anyways!

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I found 3 ways. Factor out a square number, combine like radicals, and evaluate.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\sqrt{147}=(147)^{\frac{1}{2}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first you showed me, would that be like combine like radicals?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

No. There are no like radical to combine. Factor out a square number is the only one that applies to this problem.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

How, EXACTLY, is the problem stated?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Using complete sentences, explain the two ways to simplifythe square root of 147.and provide the simplified form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is sqrt(147) a imperfect radical expression?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

1. Replace 147 with seven squared times 7. The square root of seven squared is 7. The simplified form is 7 times the square root of 7 2. Replace 147 with 49 times 7. The square root of 49 is 7. The simplified form is 7 times the square root of 7.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes. Because 147 is not a perfect square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to make a tree for 147.
