Ik the first part but i forgot how to do the answer choices What is the exact value for the expression the square root of 52. − the square root of 13. + the square root of 117.? Simplify if possible. 4 the square root of 13. the square root of 13. 2 the square root of 39. 8 the square root of 39.
so you want to re-write each product as (something)*13
52 = __ * 13 fill in the blank
2.17????? Do you do 13/52
other way around
Oh okay hold on
you would divide both sides by 13 to get 52/13 = ?
4
good so sqrt(52) = sqrt(4*13) = 2sqrt(13)
now let's do the same thing with 117 117 = __ * 3
39
oh whoops made a typo
117 = ___ * 13
try that ;;
39
117/13 = ?
Sorry 9 not 39
good so sqrt(117) = sqrt(9*13) = 3(sqrt13) so now they're all in terms of sqrt(13) we just add/subtract like terms
square root of 52. − the square root of 13. + the square root of 117. 2sqrt(13) - sqrt(13) + 3sqrt(13) = 4(sqrt13) = answer A
