Simplify the expression

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Welcome to OpenStudy! Where is your expression?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

we need to use the distributive property a(b+c) = ab + ac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you give me the answer I already have one but I don't this it is right

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

sow me your work and I'll see :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got that

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

ah, you cannot add the radicals you have to multiply them \(\sf\Large \sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b} \neq \sqrt{a+b}\) \(\sf\Large \sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{ab}\)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

can you read what I wrote above? I'm assuming that you're using the iOS app for OpenStudy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes ok now can you just show me the answer I have a method were I get the right answer and the. I figure out the work after it really helps me understand more

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

ok, so what is 22 x 6 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

132

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

now can we factor 132 so that we can simplify this radical? 132/4 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

33

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

so therefore \(\sqrt{132} = 2\sqrt{33}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Those are the answer choices

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

so you chose D, right?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

because that is correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This one

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

do you know trignometry? @angelmarie5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No
