Question

Simplify g^1/2 * g^1/2 using the radical form.

Answer 1

√g *√g = g

Explanation:

recall that any number or variable to the power of 1/2 can also be written as that variable or number under the radical.

So, we then have

√g * √g

Recall that when we multiply radicals, we multiply what is under our radicals together and then combine them under a new radical

√g * √g = √(g * g)

This gives us √(g²)

recall that the square root of a number or variable squared will merely result in the number or variable by itself (as these are reciprocate equations)

√(g²) = g
