SIMPLIFY RADICAL EXPRESSIONS WITH VARIABLES
About "Simplify radical expressions with variables"
Simplify radical expressions with variables :
Here we are going to learn how to simplify radical expressions with variables.
To simplify radical expression, first we have to find the factors of the number and variable inside the radical sign.
According to the index of the radical we can take one term from the radical for every two same terms .
Let us see some examples based on the concept.
Example 1 :
Simplifying the following radical expressions
Solution :
= √(2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x u x u x u x u x v x v x v)
Index of the given radical is 2.
Here we have four "2", four "u" and three "v". According to the index, we have to take two 2's, one u and one v instead of 2 same terms from the radical sign.
So we get
= 2 x 2 x u x u x v √v
= 4 u²v √v
Hence the answer is 4 u²v √v.
Example 2 :
Simplifying the following radical expressions
Solution :
= √(3 x 7 x 7 x m x m x m x n x n x n)
Index of the given radical is 2.
Number of "3" that we have = 1
Number of "7" that we have = 2
number of "m" that we have = 3 and
number of "n" that we have = 3
According to the index of the radical, we can take one term from the radical for every two same terms . So, we have to take one "7", one "m" and one "n" from the radical.
Hence the answer is 7mn √3mn
Example 3 :
Simplifying the following radical expressions
Solution :
= √(3 x 5 x 5 x X x X x y)
Index of the given radical is 2.
Number of "3" that we have = 1
Number of "5" that we have = 2
number of "x" that we have = 2 and
number of "y" that we have = 1
According to the index of the radical, we can take one term from the radical for every two same terms. So, we have to take one "5", one "x" from the radical.
Hence the answer is 5x √3y
Example 4 :
Simplifying the following radical expressions
Solution :
= 6 √(2 x 6 x 6 x X x X)
Index of the given radical is 2.
Number of "2" that we have = 1
Number of "6" that we have = 2
number of "x" that we have = 2 and
According to the index of the radical, we can take one term from the radical for every two same terms. So, we have to take one "6", one "x" from the radical.
If we already have any number or variable out side radical sign, then we have to multiply those terms with the new terms.
= 6 (6x)√2 = 36 √2
Hence the answer is 36 √2.
