Simplify 5√3 x 3√5, leaving your answer in exact form.

1 answer

To simplify \( 5\sqrt{3} \times 3\sqrt{5} \), we start by multiplying the coefficients and the square roots separately.

  1. Multiply the coefficients: \[ 5 \times 3 = 15 \]

  2. Multiply the square roots: \[ \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{5} = \sqrt{3 \times 5} = \sqrt{15} \]

  3. Now, combine both results: \[ 5\sqrt{3} \times 3\sqrt{5} = 15\sqrt{15} \]

Thus, the simplified form is: \[ \boxed{15\sqrt{15}} \]
