Answer:

Explanation:

343: = 7 * 7 * 7

x^9: = x^3 * x^3 * x * x * x = x^3 * x * √x

y^12: = y^6 * y^6

z^6: = z^3 * z^3

So the square root is

√343 = 7 √7

√x^9 = x^4√x

√y^12 = y^6

√z^6 = x^3

The rule is for every pair of equal factors, you take one outside the root sign and throw the other one away.

So z^6 for example is z^3 * z^3 Take one of the pair outside the root sign and throw the other one away.

x^9 is rather tricky. You take x^4 out and there is still one x left over. You leave it under the root sign.

So the answer is

7 * x^4 * y^6 * z^3 * √7x
