@hartnn could you help me with another that's kind of similar?

hartnn (hartnn):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large -21 \sqrt{27x^9}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got \[\sqrt {27}=3 \sqrt{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is sqrt3

hartnn (hartnn):

correct go on \(\sqrt {x^9} =....\)

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\sqrt{27} = 3\sqrt 3\) is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large \sqrt {x^3} \times \sqrt {x^3}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

hint : 9 = 8+1

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge \sqrt{x^9} = \sqrt x \sqrt {x^8} = \sqrt x (x^8)^{1/2} =...\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure at all.

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\Large \sqrt {x^n} = x^{n/2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I understand that sorta

hartnn (hartnn):

so, \(\Large \sqrt{x^8 } = (x^8)^{1/2} = x^{8/2} =....\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh alright So x^4?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes \(\huge \sqrt{x^9} = \sqrt x (x^8)^{1/2} =x^4 \sqrt x\) and final answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge -63x^4 \sqrt {3x}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

correct! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I have another. \[\huge -2 \sqrt {243y^3}\] So I have \[\huge \sqrt {243}=9 \sqrt{3}\] Then I have \[\huge \sqrt {y^3}=\sqrt {y}\sqrt{y^2}=y \sqrt{y}\] So my final answer will be \[18y \sqrt{3y}\] Is that right?

hartnn (hartnn):

excellent work! you just missed the negative sign, everything else is correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yeah thanks!

hartnn (hartnn):

you learn fast :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did these a little in alg 1 but that was 4 years ago and couldn't remember too well. Lol. I didn't have to do these in any other math I took for high school so it was hard to remember.
