What am I doing wrong? Preform the indicated operation. Assume all variables represent nonnegative real numbers
\[\sqrt{6x ^{2}}+x \sqrt{52}\]
use the product rule to simplify the first radical \[\sqrt{6x ^{2}}=\sqrt{x ^{2}}\times \sqrt{6}=x \sqrt{6}\]
For the second radical factor 54 \[x \sqrt{54}=x \sqrt{9\times6}\]
use the product rule \[x \sqrt{9\times6}=x \sqrt{9}\times \sqrt{6}\] \[x \sqrt{9\times6}=3x \sqrt{9}\]
you mean \(3x \sqrt 6\) right?
combine both radicals \[(9x+3)\sqrt{9}=3x \sqrt{9}\]
also 6*9 is not 52
oh just a typo
It's 54 I messed up
\(x\sqrt 6 + 3x\sqrt 6 = (x+3x)\sqrt 6 = 4x \sqrt 6 \)
\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @ScarlettFarra2000 use the product rule \[x \sqrt{9\times6}=x \sqrt{9}\times \sqrt{6}\] \(x \sqrt{9\times6}=3x \sqrt{9}\) <<<<<< \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) \(x \sqrt{9\times 6} = x \sqrt 9 \sqrt 6 = 3x\sqrt 6 \)
Oh so its not \[3x \sqrt{9}\] like i thought its \[3x \sqrt{6}\]
\(\Large x \sqrt{9\times 6} = x \sqrt 9 \sqrt 6 = 3x\sqrt 6 \) ^^
doubt cleared? any more doubts?
Well when I put the answer in on my assignment to still tells me I'm wrong
\(4x \sqrt 6\) is correct...
Yes thank you so much
welcome ^_^
