Q. Simplify.Remove all perfect squares from inside the square root. Assume y is positive.39y9=
Identify Factorization: Identify the complete factorization of 39y9.The prime factorization of 39 is 3×13. Since y9 is y raised to an odd power, we can factor out y8 as (y4)2, which is a perfect square, and we are left with a single y.Complete factorization of 39y9=3×13×(y4)2×y
Rewrite using Factorization: Rewrite the square root of the expression using the factorization.We have 39y9=3×13×(y4)2×y
Simplify Square Root: Simplify the square root by taking out the perfect square.We can take the square root of (y4)2, which is y4, out of the square root.So, 39y9 becomes y4⋅3⋅13⋅y = y4⋅39y
