Explanation:

√(36a⁸/225a²)

=> 6/9√(a⁸/a²)

If option B is 6/25√(a⁸/a²)

Otherwise

=> √(36a⁸/225a²)

=> √(36a⁶/225)

=> 6a³/15

=> 2/5a³

Answer:

  • E. 2/5 a³

Explanation:


  • √(36a^8/225a^2) = simplify

  • √(4a^6/25) = square root
  • 2/5 a³

Also possible option is B if 4a⁶/25 is under root
