A perfect square must be hidden within all of those radicands in order to simplify them down to what the answer is.
√(192)= √(64*3)= 8√(3).
√(80)= √(16*5)=4 √(5).
√(12288)= √(4096*3)=64 √(3). The rules for adding radicals is that the index has to be the same (all of our indexes are 2 since we have square roots), and the radicands have to be the same. In other words, we cannot add the square root of 4 to the square root of 5. They either both have to be 4 or they both have to be 5. So here's what we have thus far:
8 √(3)+4 √(5)+64 √(3). We can add
8 √(3) and
64 √(3) to get
72 √(3). That means as far as our answer goes, A = 72 and B = 4, or (72, 4), choice a.
