Match the given problem to the corresponding simplified radical (points) sqrt(54); sqrt(12); sqrt(18); sqrt(45); 2sqrt(3); 3sqrt(2); 3sqrt(5) * 3sqrt(6)

1 answer

Let's simplify each of the radical expressions provided:

  1. √54:

    • √54 = √(9 * 6) = √9 * √6 = 3√6.
  2. √12:

    • √12 = √(4 * 3) = √4 * √3 = 2√3.
  3. √18:

    • √18 = √(9 * 2) = √9 * √2 = 3√2.
  4. √45:

    • √45 = √(9 * 5) = √9 * √5 = 3√5.
  5. 2√3:

    • This is already in simplified form.
  6. 3√2:

    • This is already in simplified form.
  7. 3√5 * 3√6:

    • (3√5)(3√6) = 9√(5 * 6) = 9√30.

Now, let’s match the given problems to their corresponding simplified radicals:

  • √54 = 3√6
  • √12 = 2√3
  • √18 = 3√2
  • √45 = 3√5
  • 2√3 = 2√3
  • 3√2 = 3√2
  • 3√5 * 3√6 = 9√30 (not listed in your options)

So the matches are:

  • √543√6
  • √122√3
  • √183√2
  • √453√5
  • 2√32√3
  • 3√23√2
  • 3√5 * 3√69√30 (not listed, but calculated).
