Q. Assuming x and y are both positive, write the following expression in simplest radical form.x2y224x4y2Answer:
Express in Exponential Form: First, let's express the square root in exponential form and then combine the exponents with the same base.x2y224x4y2= x2y2(24x4y2)21
Apply Power Rules: Now, apply the power to a product rule and the power to a power rule to the expression inside the square root.(24x4y2)21= 2421 * (x4)21 * (y2)21= 2 * 6 * x2 * y
Multiply Inside and Outside: Next, multiply the expression obtained from the square root with the terms outside the square root.x2y2×(2×6×x2×y)= 2×x2×x2×y2×y×6
Combine Like Terms: Combine the like terms by adding the exponents for the bases x and y. = 2×x(2+2)×y(2+1)×6= 2×x4×y3×6
Simplify Radical Form: The expression is now simplified to its simplest radical form.
