Title: Multiplying Radicals |
Grade: 8-b Lesson: S1-L7 |
Explanation: The best way to understand algebra is by looking at some examples. Take turns and read each example for easy understanding. |
Examples:
Multiply the following radical expression: \$(2\sqrt(5)) times (3\sqrt(10)) times (7\sqrt(45))\$.
Step 1a
|
|
Multiply the coefficients (numbers outside the radicals): \$2 times 3 times 7 = 42\$ Multiply the radicals using the property: \$\sqrt(a) times \sqrt(b) = \sqrt(a. b)\$ \$\sqrt(5) times \sqrt(10) times \sqrt(45) = \sqrt(5 . 10. 45)\$ Simplify the expression inside the radical: \$5. 10. (9.5) = 25. 90 = 2250\$. |
|
Explanation: Multiply the coefficients, then the radicals using their properties, and finally simplify the inside the radical. |
Step 1b
|
|
Simplify the radical: \$\sqrt(2250)\$ Factor 2250 to find perfect squares: \$2. 3^2. 5^3 \$ \$\sqrt(2250) = \sqrt(2. 5. 3^2. 5^2) = 3. 5\sqrt(2.5) = 15\sqrt(10)\$ Combine the coefficient with the simplified radical: \$42. 15 \sqrt(10) = 630\sqrt(10)\$ Therefore, the simplified expression is \$630\sqrt(10)\$. |
|
Explanation: Factor out the 2250, combine the coefficient with the simplified radicals, and then find the final result. |
