Q. Assuming x and y are both positive, write the following expression in simplest radical form.7x9x2y4Answer:
Simplify Inside Radical: Simplify the square root of the constant and variables inside the radical.We have the expression 7x9x2y4. Let's first focus on the constant and variables inside the radical.The square root of 9 is 3, because 32=9.The square root of x2 is x, because (x)2=x2.The square root of y4 is y2, because (y2)2=y4.So, 90.
Multiply by Coefficient: Multiply the simplified radical by the coefficient outside the radical.Now we have 7x×3xy2.Multiplying the coefficients (7 and 3) and the variables (x and xy2) gives us 21x2y2.
