add 2√'3+3√'8. (1 point)

1 answer

To simplify the expression 2√3 + 3√8, we can start by simplifying each square root individually.

The square root of 3 cannot be simplified any further, so it remains as √3.

The square root of 8 can be simplified as follows:
√8 = √(4 * 2) = √4 * √2 = 2√2.

Now we can substitute these simplified square roots back into the expression:

2√3 + 3√8 = 2√3 + 3(2√2).

Next, we distribute the 3 to each term inside the parentheses:

2√3 + 6√2.

And that is the simplified result.
