Q. Simplify.Remove all perfect squares from inside the square root.15y3=
Factorize the expression: Factorize the expression inside the square root to identify perfect squares.We need to factorize 15y3 to see if there are any perfect squares that we can take out of the square root. The number 15 is already in its prime factorized form (3×5), and y3 can be written as y2×y, where y2 is a perfect square.
Rewrite with perfect square: Rewrite the square root with the perfect square separated.Now that we have identified y2 as a perfect square, we can rewrite the square root as y2×15y.
Take perfect square out: Take the perfect square out of the square root.Since y2 is a perfect square, we can take its square root out of the radical, which gives us y15y.
Check for remaining squares: Check for any remaining perfect squares and simplify the expression.There are no more perfect squares left inside the square root, so the expression is now fully simplified.
