Q. Simplify. Assume t is greater than or equal to zero.20t9
Factorize and Identify Perfect Squares:20t9First, we need to factor the radicand (the number inside the square root) into its prime factors and identify perfect squares.Prime factorization of 20 is 2×2×5, and we can express t9 as (t4)2×t.20t9=2×2×5×(t4)2×t
Group Identical Factors:2×2×5×(t4)2×t Now, group the identical factors and the perfect squares. 2×2×5×(t4)2×t=22×5×(t4)2×t
Apply Product Property of Radicals:22⋅5⋅(t4)2⋅t Apply the product property of radicals, which allows us to take the square root of each factor separately. 22⋅5⋅(t4)2⋅t=22⋅5⋅(t4)2⋅t
Simplify Perfect Squares:22×5×(t4)2×tSimplify the square roots of the perfect squares.22×5×(t4)2×t=2×5×t4×t
Combine Terms Inside Square Root:2×5×t4×tCombine the terms outside the square root with the terms inside the square root.2×t4×5×t=2t4×5t
