Adding /subtracting radicals

4√45+3√245

1 answer

To simplify the expression \(4\sqrt{45} + 3\sqrt{245}\), we first simplify each radical individually.

  1. Simplifying \( \sqrt{45} \):

    \[ \sqrt{45} = \sqrt{9 \times 5} = \sqrt{9} \cdot \sqrt{5} = 3\sqrt{5} \]

    Therefore: \[ 4\sqrt{45} = 4 \cdot 3\sqrt{5} = 12\sqrt{5} \]

  2. Simplifying \( \sqrt{245} \):

    \[ \sqrt{245} = \sqrt{49 \times 5} = \sqrt{49} \cdot \sqrt{5} = 7\sqrt{5} \]

    Therefore: \[ 3\sqrt{245} = 3 \cdot 7\sqrt{5} = 21\sqrt{5} \]

Now, we can combine the two terms:

\[ 4\sqrt{45} + 3\sqrt{245} = 12\sqrt{5} + 21\sqrt{5} = (12 + 21)\sqrt{5} = 33\sqrt{5} \]

Thus, the final result is:

\[ \boxed{33\sqrt{5}} \]
