Vocaloid:

first multiply all of the non-radical parts (3,2) then the radical parts sqrt(2), sqrt(8), sqrt(3), sqrt(6) 3*2*sqrt(2*8*3*6) then try factoring out perfect squares from the radical to simplify the answer

Pixel:

\[6\sqrt{288}\]

Vocaloid:

good, now try factoring out perfect squares like 4 and 9 from 288

Pixel:

.....

Vocaloid:

try re-writing 288 as a product of 4 and 9

Vocaloid:

288 = 9 * ___ fill in the blank

Pixel:

32

Pixel:

32 = 4 * 8

Vocaloid:

awesome, so we can re-write 288 as 9 * 4 * 8 we can go one step further and re-write 8 as 4 * 2 giving us 288 = 9 * 4 * 4 * 2 now going back to the original expression we have 6*sqrt(9*4*4*2) we can separate these into 6*sqrt(9)*sqrt(4)*sqrt(4)*sqrt(2) ^ try simplifying this expression into a radical

Pixel:

\[6\sqrt{288}\]

Vocaloid:

that's back where we started ^_^" the goal is to reduce the number inside the radical symbol

Vocaloid:

6*sqrt(9)*sqrt(4)*sqrt(4)*sqrt(2) we leave sqrt(2) alone since 2 is not a perfect square sqrt(4) = 2 sqrt(9) = 3 using these substitutions, re-write 6*sqrt(9)*sqrt(4)*sqrt(4)*sqrt(2) so that the only radical is sqrt(2)

Pixel:

6*2*2*3Sqrt2

Vocaloid:

good but multiply 6*2*2*3 out

Pixel:

72

Vocaloid:

good so the answer is 72sqrt(2)

next question is drop down boxes so ill do one at a time
