Which expression is equal to 7√28−5√63 ?

princeevee:

@Ultrilliam

princeevee:

@Zowie

Mehek:

Are there options?

Mehek:

And also do you know how to simplify radicals?

princeevee:

yeah there are options, but it will be hard to get them hang on

katherine:

screenshot them

Mehek:

Or you can write them on the drawing board

princeevee:

−37√7 −11√7 −√7 √7

Mehek:

Ok first we're going to simplify 7√28 √28 can becomes √7 * √4 and √4 = 2 So the 2 comes outside and √7 remains as it is √28 = 2√7 We already have a 7 from before `7√28` so now we just combine `7√28=7*2√7=14√7` So we got that simplified Now we need to simplify 5√63

princeevee:

alright

Mehek:

What numbers multiplied together give you 63?

princeevee:

7 and 9

Mehek:

Right and are either 7 or 9 a perfect square?

princeevee:

7 i think

Mehek:

What is √7 = ?

princeevee:

2.64

Mehek:

So not a perfect square because it has to be a whole number √9 = 3 because 3 * 3 = 9 so that is a perfect square so: -5√63 -> -5* √7 * √9 - > -5 * √7 * 3 Move 3 to the from and multiply to the -5 - 5 * 3 * √7 -15 * √7 = -15√7 So 7√28 was simplified to 14√7 and -5√63 was simplified to -15√7 14√7 - 15√7 We're just going to subtract 14 - 15 which gives you -1 So -1√7 = `-√7`

Factors of 162?

princeevee:

i guess

Mehek:

Lol I'm asking what are the factors?

princeevee:

i dont really know...

Mehek:

What numbers multiplied together give 162?

princeevee:

uh... 9 and 2?

Mehek:

9*2 = 18 not 162

princeevee:

oops...

Mehek:

81 * 2 = 162 and 81 is a perfect square because √81 = 9 So 9 comes out and the 2 stays in 9√2x^3y^2 √x^3 = x√x √y^2 = y So bring whatever is simplified outside and leave the rest in \(\bf 9xy\sqrt{2x}\)
