Question

Describe how to solve the following:
a. 2√25
b. √150

Answer 1

10 and 5
`√(6)`

Explanation:

these cannot be solved as they are not equations, but can be simplified

using the rule of radicals

`√(ab)` ⇔
`√(a)` ×
`√(b)`

then

2
`√(25)` = 2 × 5 = 10

`√(150)`

=
`√(25(6))`

=
`√(25)` ×
`√(6)`

= 5
`√(6)`
