\[\sqrt{16c ^{4}}-\sqrt{c ^{2}}+ 3\sqrt{c ^{2}}+ \sqrt{9c ^{2}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
most of the terms are perfect square, we can extract their square roots and make it all in c variable...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you show me?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
... except the 1st term...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{16c^4}=\sqrt{16}\times\sqrt{c^4}=4\times c^2\]

or simply \(4c^2\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
... we do the same for the rest, you think you can make it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lets see..
is 4c^2 = 2c?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, we have already removed the radical sign for the 1st term so it's already done, i'm asking for the other terms (2nd to the 4th)...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the second term would be c..?
and the last term would be 9c..?
and im ify on the third term ...

ok for the 2nd term, the last term? 9 is under the radical sign and a perfect square so what is its square root?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what is the simplified for the last term?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok you're getting it all right... for the 3rd term, it is c^2 in a radical sign, what is the square root of c^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok you're correct again, now write all the simplified terms we obtain based on their arrangement above... see if we can further simplify it...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
starting with the 1st term...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[4c ^{2}-c+c+3c\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you forgot to include the constant 3 in the 3rd term...

OpenStudy (anonymous):
... actually you can simplify the 2nd to the last term since they are all common to c variable...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[4c ^{2}-3c+c+3c\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
like that ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it should be \[4c^2-c+3c+3c\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so would the final answer be \[4c ^{2}+7c\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, take note the sign of the 2nd term, it is -c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so \[4c ^{2}+5c\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes you're correct... you got it... :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks can you help me with one more ?! sorry im so freaking slow..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok no problem... :)

\[5\sqrt{13} +6 -7 \sqrt{13}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i need to find the exact value
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you think you can simplify further the \(\sqrt{13}~?\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if you will look at the expression, do you think you can combine similar terms and perform their operations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
what are those terms?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[13\sqrt{13}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[-2\sqrt{13}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
remember you have 6 alone...

OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[-2\sqrt{13} + \sqrt{6}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no it's not, look at the 6, it is under a radical sign?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then how would you write it now?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok it is \[6-2\sqrt{13}.\]
