Q. Simplify.Remove all perfect squares from inside the square root.30b5
Factor the expression: Factor the expression inside the square root to identify perfect squares.We need to factor 30b5 into its prime factors and identify any perfect squares.30b5=2×3×5×b4×bHere, b4 is a perfect square because (b2)2=b4.
Rewrite with perfect square: Rewrite the square root with the perfect square separated.Now we can rewrite 30b5 as 2⋅3⋅5⋅b4⋅b, which is the same as b4⋅2⋅3⋅5⋅b.
Simplify perfect square: Simplify the square root of the perfect square.Since b4 is the square root of a perfect square, it simplifies to b2.So we have b2⋅2⋅3⋅5⋅b.
Combine and simplify: Combine the constants under the square root and simplify.We have b22⋅3⋅5⋅b which simplifies to b230b.
