PLEASE HELP! QUESTION DOWN BELOW!

OpenStudy (just_gymnast_me):

Can the expression s times the square root of the quantity 64 times s cubed. + 2stthe square root of s. + 8the square root of the quantity 2 times s. be simplified into an expression with fewer terms? Explain and simplify, if possible.

OpenStudy (just_gymnast_me):

im going to draw it

OpenStudy (misty1212):

hi!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the equation tool, it is much easier

OpenStudy (just_gymnast_me):

ok i will use that then

OpenStudy (just_gymnast_me):

\[s \sqrt{64s^3} + 2s \sqrt{s}+8\sqrt{2s}\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

ok good

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you got a bunch of stuff you can do first off \(\sqrt{64}=8\)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

adn \[\sqrt{s^3}=s\sqrt{s}\]

OpenStudy (just_gymnast_me):

that makes sense so far

OpenStudy (misty1212):

that means you can start with \[8s^2\sqrt{s}+2s\sqrt{s}+8\sqrt{2s}\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

after that i am not sure what there is left to do

OpenStudy (just_gymnast_me):

same..

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you could write it as \[(8s^2+2s)\sqrt{s}+8\sqrt{2x}\] for example

OpenStudy (misty1212):

but that is not really any simpler than what you had before it

OpenStudy (just_gymnast_me):

Thanks for the help (: I appreciate it
