Question

Simplify the radical.

Answer 1

\[\sqrt{36a ^4 b ^{10}}\]

Answer 2

@mathmale

Answer 3

is that b^10?

Answer 4

@pleasehelp22 yes :)

Answer 5

I'd suggest you break up the original radical like this:\[\sqrt{36a ^4 b ^{10}}=\sqrt{36}*\sqrt{a^4}*\sqrt{b ^{10}}\]

Answer 6

Evaluate each of the 3 radicals separately, and then multiply together the 3 results.

Answer 7

(36a^2b^10)^1/2 = \(\ 36^{1/2} * (a^4)^{1/2} * (b^10)^{1/2} \)

\(\ ( a^4 )^{1/2} = \dfrac{4}{1} * \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{4}{2} = 2 \)

\(\ (a^4)^{1/2} = a^2 \) get it?

Answer 8

\(\ b^{10} \) *

Answer 9

\[6a ^{2} b ^{5}\]?
