Q. Simplify. Assume s is greater than or equal to zero.245s8
Factorize 245 and s8:245s8First, let's factor 245 into its prime factors and express s8 in terms of s squared to the fourth power.Prime factorization of 245 is 5×7×7.s8 can be written as (s2)4.245s8=5×7×7×(s2)4
Group Identical Factors:5×7×7×(s2)4Now, group the identical factors and use the exponents.5×72×(s2)4
Apply Product Property:5×72×(s2)4Product property of radicals:a×b=a×b5×72×(s2)4=5×72×(s2)4
Cancel Square Roots:5×72×(s2)4Square and square root cancel each other out for 72 and (s2)4.5×7×(s2)2= 5×7×s4= 7s45
