first, do you know how to simplify 4√32 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

= Root(32)/4 = Root(4 * 8) / 4 = 2Root(2*4) / 4 =2*2rRoot(2) / 4 = Root(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thts how my teacher taught me

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

ummm right idea but I don't think there is division involved with this one :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well hey trying here lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought since its a fraction you divide

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

lol well I'm not seeing "4√32" as a fraction...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so dividing is something wrong to do

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yeah, since it's not a fraction but you were right on every other part of how to do it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol so my answer is rght

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

not quite :P just do 2*2rRoot(2) * 4 instead of "2*2rRoot(2) / 4"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 4

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

huh? 2*2 Root(2) * 4 = 2*2*4 Root(2) = 16 Root(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh well still confused

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

4 Root(32) = 4* Root(4*4*2) = 4*4 Root(2) = 16 Root(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait nvm

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

then simplify 6 Root(50) with the same idea
