What is the irrational square root √63 rewritten as the product of an integer and another irrational square root, in simplest form?

1 answer

To rewrite \( \sqrt{63} \) as the product of an integer and another irrational square root, we start by factoring 63 into its prime components:

\[ 63 = 9 \times 7 = 3^2 \times 7 \]

Now, we can take the square root of both factors:

\[ \sqrt{63} = \sqrt{9 \times 7} = \sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{7} \]

Since \( \sqrt{9} = 3 \), we have:

\[ \sqrt{63} = 3 \times \sqrt{7} \]

Thus, the square root \( \sqrt{63} \) can be rewritten in simpler form as:

\[ \sqrt{63} = 3\sqrt{7} \]

In conclusion, the answer is:

\[ \sqrt{63} = 3\sqrt{7} \]
