what is this?? sqrt27u^3v^10w^6
@mathlover2014 @iambatman @undeadknight26
\[\sqrt{27u^3 v^10 w^6}\] Like this?
almost. its v to the tenth
okay, what do you want to with that?
it says simplify the expression
and assume all variables are positive
\[\sqrt{27u^3v ^{10}w^6}\] Here you can take advantage of a property of radicals: \[\sqrt{u.v}=\sqrt{u}\sqrt{v}\] Si, here, we can take the square root of each factor: \[\sqrt{27u^3v ^{10}w^6}=\sqrt{27}\sqrt{u^3}\sqrt{v ^{10}}\sqrt{w^6}\]
oh okay. yeah I remember learning that. but is that the answer?? arent there supposed to to be like, exponents and fractions and stuff?
dont you do like (27u^3v^10x^6)^1/2
Yes, but I will not give you the answer, I am not allowed to do that.
i dont know where to go from there
i know you cant give the answer. but would you be willing to help me? I dont know where to go after (27u^v^10w^6)^1/2
If you want to take the method if expressing the main radical as a fractionary exponent, you can take advantage of a exponential property: \[(27u^3v ^{10}w^6)^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }}\] \[(a^n)^m=a ^{mn}\] This expands to each factor, so: \[(27^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }})(u ^{3\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }})(v ^{10\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }})(w ^{6\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }})\]
and then what? @owlcoffee
simplify the exponents.
