Question

Not a timed or graded assignment. Need a quick answer showing work. Please DRAW factor tree. Then simplify. Thank you in advance. Will give amazing review if done quickly and well :)

Answer 1

• Threfore15TreeWe are given the expression -3 √135m^11.

• This can be simplified as follows :

1. Determine factor tree of 135 :

• Factor 9 out of 135 = {√9(15)}

,

• rewrite 9 as 3^2 = {√3^2 (15)}

,

• Pul terms out from the radical = 3√15

,

• so, √135 = 3√15

2. plug back the 3√15 to replace √135 into theabove expression

therefore : -3 *3(√15* m^11 )

and for the √m^11 = |m^5| √m

This means that the final expression will be :

-3 * 3|m^5|√15m = -9|m^5|√15m
