We have the following expression:


3\sqrt[]{45}

First, we must find the prime factorization of the number inside the radical:


45=3*3*5

Next, determine the index of the radical. In our case the index is two because it is a square root, which means we need two of a kind:


45=3*3*5=3^2*5

Then, we can move 3 outside the radical, that is


3\sqrt[]{45}=3\sqrt[]{3^2*5}=3*3\sqrt[]{5}

and finally, simplify the expression both inside and outside the radical:


3\sqrt[]{45}=9\sqrt[]{5}

Then, the answer is
