Exercise 1 Page 268

Remember that sqrt(a* b)=sqrt(a)*sqrt(b).

6p^3sqrt(2p)

Practice makes perfect

We can simplify this expression by rewriting the number under the square root as the product of at least one perfect square factor.

sqrt(72p^7)
â–¼
Split into factors
sqrt(9* 8* p^7)
sqrt(9* 4* 2* p^7)
sqrt(9* 4* 2* p^6* p)
sqrt(9* 4* 2* p^2* p^2* p^2* p)
sqrt(9)*sqrt(4)*sqrt(2)*sqrt(p^2)*sqrt(p^2)*sqrt(p^2)*sqrt(p)
3* 2*sqrt(2)*sqrt(p^2)*sqrt(p^2)*sqrt(p^2)*sqrt(p)
3* 2*sqrt(2)* p* p* p*sqrt(p)
â–¼
Multiply
3* 2*sqrt(2)* p^3*sqrt(p)
6p^3*sqrt(2)*sqrt(p)
6p^3sqrt(2p)

Remember that we assume that the variable p is positive.
