OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

We need to simplify the radicals.

Exact Form: 12√2

OpenStudy (bunnyzrockgirl):

Thanks for helping! I really don't get some of these!

Decimal Form: 16.97

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

\[\sqrt{32} = \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{16} = 4\sqrt{2}\]

PLease avoid giving out direct answers. That is strictly against our CoC: http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

OpenStudy (bunnyzrockgirl):

its ok, i would still like help figuring out the answer though!

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

\[\sqrt{128} = \sqrt{64} \times \sqrt{2} = 8\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

break down each one and combine and you get the answer

OpenStudy (bunnyzrockgirl):

Thank you @♪Chibiterasu

See, we braek down what is inside the radical and create multiples. Then we can see perfect squares. (16 and 64) We will simplify those and combine them with the remaining radicals.
