Answer:

An example is the following:
√(45)

Explanation:

Simplify the radical:
√(45)

1.We must write the radicand as a product, and then we must use the product property for simplicity.

The roof of
\sqrt{45 is equal =
√(9 x 5)

2.We must use the property of the product:
\sqrt {a} x √(b)


√(9x 5)=
√(9) x√(5)


3√(5)
