Q. Simplify. Assume d is greater than or equal to zero.45d10
Factor and Express:45d10First, let's factor the radicand (the number inside the square root) into its prime factors and express the variable part with exponents.45d10=3×3×5×d10
Group Identical Factors:3×3×5×d10Now, group the identical factors and express the exponents for the variable part.3×3×5×d10=32×5×d2×5
Apply Product Property:32×5×d2×5Apply the product property of radicals, which allows us to take the square root of each factor separately.32×5×d2×5=32×5×d2×5
Simplify Square Roots:32×5×d2×5 Simplify the square roots where possible. The square root of a square number is just the base of the square, and the square root of a variable raised to an even power is the variable raised to half that power. 32×5×d2×5=3×5×d5
