simplifying a radical with two variables

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{32t ^{7}u ^{10}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{(4)(8)(t ^{6})(t)(u ^{10})}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{(4)(t ^{6})(u ^{10})}\sqrt{8t}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2t ^{3}u ^{5}\sqrt{8t}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it right lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol. No. Sorry it's not. You are in the right direction, however, you pulling out the wrong numbers and variables. Let's start from here: \[\sqrt{(32)(t^7)(u^{10})}\] which can be rewritten as: \[\left( (2^5)(t^7)(u ^{10} )\right)^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you can times "1/2" throughout the parenthesis to get \[2^{\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }}t ^{\frac{ 7 }{ 2 }}u ^{\frac{ 10 }{ 2 }}\] which can be rewritten as this|dw:1382083714117:dw||dw:1382083775402:dw|
