Q. Simplify. Assume x is greater than or equal to zero.84x
Find Prime Factors:84xFirst, let's find the prime factors of the number 84.Prime factorization of a number is the product of its prime factors.84x=2×2×3×7×x
Group Identical Factors:2×2×3×7×xNow, group the identical factors and use the exponents for them.2×2×3×7×x=22×3×7×x
Apply Product Property:22×3×7×x Apply the product property of radicals, which allows us to take the square root of each factor separately. 22×3×7×x=22×3×7×x
Simplify Square Roots:22×3×7×xSince the square root and the square cancel each other out, we can simplify 22 to 2.22×3×7×x=2×3×7×x
Combine Remaining Square Roots:2×3×7×xSince there are no more identical factors to combine, and we cannot simplify the square roots of 3, 7, or x any further, we can combine the remaining square roots under one radical.2×3×7×x=2×3×7×x
Multiply Numbers Under Square Root:2×3×7×xNow, multiply the numbers under the square root.2×3×7×x=2×21x
Final Simplification: Final SimplificationThe final simplified form of 84x is 2×21x.
