Question

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).

Answer 1

did you manage to get anywhere with this?

Answer 2

yes thank you

Answer 3

I made this \[\sqrt{18x}\] now after this I don't know what to do

Answer 4

ok good start

Answer 5

what do I do next

Answer 6

can you factor 18 in such a way where one of the factors is a perfect square?

Answer 7

yeahh 3

Answer 8

that make 9*2=18

Answer 9

good, 18 = 9*2

this means that

\[\large \sqrt{18a} = \sqrt{9*2a}\]

\[\large \sqrt{18a} = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{2a}\]

\[\large \sqrt{18a} = 3\sqrt{2a}\]

Answer 10

thnk u
