Answer:


12√(6)

Explanation:

Given expression:


2 √(3) \cdot 3 √(8)

Multiply the numbers 2 and 3:


\implies 6√(3)√(8)


\textsf{Apply radical rule} \quad √(a)√(b)=√(ab):


\implies 6√(3 \cdot 8)

Simplify:


\implies 6√(24)

Rewrite 24 as 4 · 6:


\implies 6√(4 \cdot 6)


\textsf{Apply radical rule} \quad √(ab)=√(a)√(b):


\implies 6√(4)√(6)

Rewrite 4 as 2²:


\implies 6√(2^2)√(6)


\textsf{Apply radical rule} \quad √(a^2)=a, \quad a \geq 0:


\implies 6 \cdot 2 √(6)

Multiply the numbers 6 and 2:


\implies 12 √(6)
