Question

what is the sq root of 16W^6
Assume that the variable represents a positive real number.

Answer 1

If you choose W=1 that would give you 16(1)^6 = 16(1)
square root of 16 is 4. 4 x 4 = 16

Make sense?

Answer 2

thats correct tophat

but if we leave w as it is we have the following

sqrt(16w^6)

= sqrt(16).sqrt(w^6)

= 4w^3

Answer 3

Ahh, gotcha...yeah it's hard to tell on here the level of math, sorry for dumbing it down :)
