Multiply (−821−−√)(−72–√)



Hint: This is multiplication. That means it works differently than when you add or subtract. And be careful of those signs.

To multiply \((- \sqrt{821})(-\sqrt{72})\), we can use the properties of square roots and multiplication.

  1. First, since both terms are negative, their product will be positive: \[(-\sqrt{821})(-\sqrt{72}) = \sqrt{821} \cdot \sqrt{72}\]

  2. Next, we can use the property of square roots that states \(\sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \cdot b}\): \[\sqrt{821} \cdot \sqrt{72} = \sqrt{821 \cdot 72}\]

  3. We need to calculate \(821 \cdot 72\): \[821 \cdot 72 = 59112\]

  4. Therefore, we have: \[\sqrt{821 \cdot 72} = \sqrt{59112}\]

This means the final result of the multiplication is: \[\sqrt{59112}\]

Now, we should check if the problem allows simplification; let's explore \( \sqrt{59112} \).

  • We can factor \(59112\) to see if there are any perfect squares: \[59112 = 821 \cdot 72 = 821 \cdot (8 \cdot 9) = 821 \cdot (4 \cdot 2) \cdot (3^2)\] However, further simplification does not yield integer factors.

Therefore, we cannot express \(\sqrt{59112}\) in a simpler form, and the final answer corresponding to the choices given does not match precisely. However, if we compare:

  • \(56 \cdot \sqrt{42}\) seems plausible because: \[56 \cdot \sqrt{42} = \sqrt{(56^2) \cdot 42}\] where \(56^2 \cdot 42\) will lead to a higher number than \(59112\).

Ultimately, the correct response from the options seems to be \(-5642^{1/2}\) if we're considering negativity impacted through the square root or discussions of signs. The approach yields a common product but, crucially, note signs.

Thus, since the original produced no negative, I'd reaffirm multiplying numbers root does not yield negative products. Best approach seems to assert: \[\sqrt{59112}\]

But in these scenarios, options hadn't a direct exact match. The optimal yielded is as discussed above. Given the responses available, it might best match:

\[-5642^{1/2}\] (Referring math to most suitable response choice in relation and product positivity.)
