To reduce the radical √300, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Find the prime factorization of 300.
300 can be expressed as 2^2 * 3 * 5^2.
Step 2: Group the factors into pairs.
Pair the 2s and one of the 5s: (2 * 2) * 5 * (5).
Step 3: Combine the factors in each pair.
(2 * 2) equals 4, so we can rewrite the expression as 4 * 5 * (5).
Step 4: Rewrite the expression without the square root.
The result is 20√5.
Therefore, the simplified form of √300 is 20√5.
For the radical √x with an empty space, it is not possible to reduce it further without knowing the value of x. The expression remains as √x.
Similarly, for another radical √x (with a different value of x), if there is no further simplification possible, it would still be represented as √x.
Go step by step to reduce the radical.

Can I have the correct answer
Apologies for the confusion. Here are the correct answers for reducing the radicals:
1. Square root of 300:
- The prime factorization of 300 is 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 5.
- Group the prime factors in pairs of two: 2 * 2 * (3 * 5 * 5).
- Take out the perfect square from each pair: 2 * 2 * 5 * sqrt(3 * 5).
- Simplify the perfect squares: 2 * 2 * 5 * sqrt(15).
- The simplified form is 20 * sqrt(15).
2. Square root of an empty space:
- Since an empty space doesn't represent any number, it cannot be simplified.
- Therefore, the square root of an empty space cannot be reduced further.
