What is the simplified form of StartRoot 10,000 x Superscript 64 Baseline EndRoot ?
Answers
Answer:
625 is the correct answer please thank my all question and follow
Answer:
Factor 10000 into its prime factors
10000 = 2^4 • 5^4
To simplify a square root, we extract factors which are squares, i.e., factors that are raised to an even exponent.
Factors which will be extracted are :
10000 = 2^4 • 5^4
No factors remain inside the root !!
To complete this part of the simplification we take the squre root of the factors which are to be extracted. We do this by dividing their exponents by 2 :
100 = 2^2 • 5^2
At the end of this step the partly simplified SQRT looks like this:
100 sqrt(x^64)
Rules for simplifing variables which may be raised to a power:
(1) variables with no exponent stay inside the radical
(2) variables raised to power 1 or (-1) stay inside the radical
(3) variables raised to an even exponent: Half the exponent taken out, nothing remains inside the radical. examples:
(3.1) sqrt(x^8)=x^4
(3.2) sqrt(x^-6)=x^-3
(4) variables raised to an odd exponent which is >2 or <(-2) , examples:
(4.1) sqrt(x^5)=x^2•sqrt(x)
(4.2) sqrt(x^-7)=x^-3•sqrt(x-1)
Applying these rules to our case we find out that
SQRT(x^64) = x^32
ANSWER: sqrt (10000x^64) = 100 x^32
