is the answer c for the question below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is the simplified form of 16 times a to the eighth power all over 12 times a squared.? 4a6 4a4 4 over 3. a4 4 over 3. a6

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so you have 16a^8 ------- 12a^2

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

First simplify the 16 and the 12 (both are divisible by 4) so what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. 4 4 2. 4 3

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok so now you have 4a^8 ----- 3a^2

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

now you need to simplify the variable with the exponent as follows: you have a^8 and a^2 that is equal to a^(8-2) which is ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a^6

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok so you have the answer 4/3 a^6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks can you help with more

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

sure

Which number equals the square root of 192.? 8 the square root of 3. 3 the square root of 8. 4 the square root of 3. 8 the square root of 2.

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok so you have \(\sqrt{192}\)

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

which is the same as \(\sqrt{64.3}\) correct ?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

64 times 3 = 192

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so what is the \(\sqrt{64}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok so you can take out the 8 and you have left 8\(\sqrt{3}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

hope you understand it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep What is the simplified form of the expression the square root of the quantity 16 times c to the fourth power. - the square root of c squared. + 3the square root of c squared. + the square root of the quantity 9 times c squared.? 4c2 + 5c 4c2 + 7c 8c2 + 5c 8c2 + 7c

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so you have equation as follows: \(\sqrt{16c^4}\) - \(\sqrt{c^2}\) + 3\(\sqrt{c^2}\) +\(\sqrt{9c^2}\) is that correct ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok first let see the definition of square root A number that produces a specified quantity when multiplied by itself: "7 is a square root of 49".

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so let solve first \(\sqrt{16c^4}\) what would that be ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4c^4

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok , according to the definition square root is a number multiplies by itself so let see 4 x 4 = 16 that is good by c^4 x c^4 = c^8 law of exponents a^x times a^y = a^(x+y) so it would be (c^2 times c^2) = c^4 so it would be 4c^2 ??? understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is the answer a

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so you have 4c^2 now lets solve the other square roots, lets do \(\sqrt{c^2}\),what would that be ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c^2

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

remember c^2 times c^2 = c^4, you need a multiple by itself that is c^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok sits now c^4

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

NO, the \(\sqrt{c^2}\) = \(\sqrt{c.c}\),

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

\(\sqrt{16}\) equals to \(\sqrt{4.4}\) that is why \(\sqrt{16}\) = 4 so what is the \(\sqrt{c^2}\) = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

WONDERFUL, you are getting it

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so you have 4c^2 -c + 3c - \(\sqrt{9c^2}\) now solve the last square root what is that equal to

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

I meant 4c^2 -c +3c + \(\sqrt{9c^2}\)

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

\(\sqrt{9c^2}\) = \(\sqrt{3.3.c.c}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so what is that equal to ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3c

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

great, now you have 4c^2 -c +3c + 3c now you combine like terms (do you know how to ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9c^3

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

when you add variables, you can only combine the one with the same exponents, never combine variables with different exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4c^2+5c

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so you have 4c^2 that is the only one that have an exponent of 2 CAN NOT COMBINE with nothing else stays as it is no you have -c + 3c + 3c (all this variable are the same exponent of 1) you can combine so you have -1 +3 +3 = +5 so the final answer is 4c^2 + 5

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

yes 5c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the product of 4the square root of 6. • 8the square root of 14.? Simplify if possible. 32the square root of 21. 32the square root of 42. 64the square root of 21. 64the square root of 42.

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so you have 4\(\sqrt{6}\) x 8\(\sqrt{14}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you can start by multiplying the digits outside so 4 x 8 = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok now multiply what is inside the square root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

84

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

great, so now you have 32\(\sqrt{84}\)

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so that is the same as 32\(\sqrt{4.21}\) so what can you take out of the square ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

32 is out already, I mean from what is inside the square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you have 4 x 21 the only one that have a multiple by itself is the 4 ( 2 x 2) so you can take out the 2, now you have 32 x 2 \(\sqrt{21}\) so 32 x 2 = 64 so it is 64 \(\sqrt{21}\)
