CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE :( ? MEDAL+FAN

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

On what?

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

Simplify the radical below. \[\sqrt{84}\]

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

First do a prime factorisation on 84.

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

84 2 X 42 2 X 2 X 21 2 X 2 X 3 X 7 <<< all prime

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

\[2\sqrt{42}\] would be the answer right

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

Nope. You move pairs of number out of the square root, like this. \[ \begin{align*} \sqrt{84}&=\sqrt{2\times2\times3\times7}\\ &=\sqrt{2\times2}\sqrt{21}\\ &=\sqrt{2^2}\sqrt{21}\\ &=2\sqrt{21} \end{align*} \]
