Answer 2

what's your question about radicals and square roots?

Answer 3

i dont really understand how to solve radicals, you-tube doesn't help

Answer 4

which equation are you working with?

Answer 5

that is a radical right?

Answer 6

yes a square root is a form of a radical

Answer 7

heh thought so XP

Answer 8

a perfect square is a number where it represents areas of squares with whole numbered side lengths

example: if a square has side length of 3, then the area is 9. The number 9 is a perfect square. 49 is a perfect square because 7^2 = 7*7 = 49

the list of perfect squares are...

1,4,9,16,25,36,49, etc etc

the list goes on forever

Answer 9

which numbers in this list

1,4,9,16,25,36,49

are factors of 54?

Answer 10

9

Answer 11

we can break up 54 into 9*6

meaning that
\[\Large \sqrt{54} = \sqrt{9*6}\]
agreed?

Answer 12

yea, i conquer

Answer 13

we now use this rule
\[\Large \sqrt{x*y} = \sqrt{x}*\sqrt{y}\]
to break up the root

Answer 14

\[\Large \sqrt{x*y} = \sqrt{x}*\sqrt{y}\]
\[\Large \sqrt{9*6} = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{6}\]
\[\Large \sqrt{9*6} = 3*\sqrt{6}\]

Answer 15

Take note how the square root of 9 is 3

this is because 3 squared = 3^2 = 3*3 = 9. In a sense, we're going backwards from squaring
