-_- we are on the same stupid site

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here.. try this site it helps alot https://mathway.com/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me kno if you get the answer

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

well first what do you get when you multiply the radicals?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

how about the x's?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2?

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

when you have the same base you add the exponents.. so x^2(x) x^(2+1) what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^3

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

great put it all together and we know it's \[\sqrt{8x ^{3}}\] right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

okay, now from here. how do we simplify radicals?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c?

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

uhmnot quite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay..no. /.\

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

we take everything in pairs of 2 out. So let's expand this variable. \[\sqrt{2\times2\times2\times x \times x \times x}\] so what pairs can we take out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a pair of 2's and a pair or x's.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2x sqrt 2x

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

yes!
