Simplification of square roots:
Brief explanation: We simplify the square roots by applying the properties of exponents and roots, aiming to extract perfect squares from under the radical.
a) Simplify √9².8²:
- Using the property √(a²b²) = ab, we get:
- √9².8² = 9 * 8 = 72.
b) Simplify √3⁴⋅5².10²:
- Using the property √(a²ⁿ) = aⁿ and √(ab) = √a√b:
- √3⁴⋅5²⋅10² = √(3²)² ⋅ 5² ⋅ 10² = 3² ⋅ 5 ⋅ 10 = 9 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 10 = 450.
c) Simplify √6.4⋅10³:
- Rewrite 10³ as 10² ⋅ 10:
- √6.4⋅10³ = √(6.4⋅10⋅10²) = √(64⋅10²) = √64 ⋅ √10² = 8 ⋅ 10 = 80.
d) Simplify √12.1⋅10⁵:
- Rewrite 10⁵ as 10⁴ ⋅ 10:
- √12.1⋅10⁵ = √(12.1⋅10⋅10⁴) = √(121⋅10⁴) = √121 ⋅ √10⁴ = 11 ⋅ 10² = 11 ⋅ 100 = 1100.
e) Simplify √12.96⋅10⁴:
- We know that 12.96 = 3.6²:
- √12.96⋅10⁴ = √(3.6²⋅(10²)²) = 3.6 ⋅ 10² = 3.6 ⋅ 100 = 360.
f) Simplify √0.1⋅10⁷:
- Rewrite 10⁷ as 10⁶ ⋅ 10:
- √0.1⋅10⁷ = √(0.1⋅10⋅10⁶) = √(1⋅10⁶) = √1 ⋅ √10⁶ = 1 ⋅ 10³ = 1000.
Answer: a) 72, b) 450, c) 80, d) 1100, e) 360, f) 1000
