Question

yes, i typed it wrong
it should be:
simplify:

√͞ 12x^20 y^8


is the answer
2 √͞ 3x^10y^4

i ask bec i checked a radical calculator but it said
2y^4 x^10 √͞ 3

can you explain the steps if I am wrong

thank you

Answer 1

type it this way:
√(12x^20 y^8)
= √12 √(x^20) √(y^8)
= 2√3 x^10 y^4

Answer 2

sqrt(12x^20y^8) = sqrt(3*4x^20y^8) = sqrt(3)*2x^10 y^4.
