Question

Simplify this radical expression.
4w

Answer 1

I am going to assume you meant to write 4w as
`√(4w)` instead.

If so, then this question is pretty simple. A radical sign, √, indicates a square root of any given number located under it. Since 4w is under the radical we will be finding the square root of 4w. Since w is a variable and there is no square root we will have to just take the square root of 4 instead. So, our answer should look like this:


`2 √(w)`

This basically says "2 times the square root of w"

I hope this helped!! Have an amazing day :))
