Question

Which choice are equivalent to the expression below? Check all that apply

I could not get the expressions to type correctly because I am new so I am sending a picture. I am having trouble working backwards to figure out which once to choose.

Answer 1

A, B, and E apply

Explanation:

One thing we can do is to make everything in the same format, under one square root, with no non-square roots.

First, we can say that 6 is equal to √36 as 6² =36, and 6 ≥ 0. Therefore, 6√3 = √36 * √3 = √108

For A, √3 * √36 = √108, so this applies

For B, √18 * √6 = √108, so this applies

For C, 108² = √something bigger than 108 = √11664, so this does not apply

For D, √54 ≠ √108, so this does not apply

For E, √108 = √108, so this applies

For F, √3 * √6 = √18, so this does not apply
