Q. Simplify.\newlineRemove all perfect squares from inside the square root. Assume x x is positive.\newline20x8= \sqrt{20 x^{8}}=
  1. Factor Perfect Squares: Factor the expression inside the square root to identify perfect squares. We need to factor 20x820x^8 to find perfect squares that can be taken out of the square root. 20x8=22×5×x820x^8 = 2^2 \times 5 \times x^8
  2. Identify & Take Out: Identify and take out the perfect squares from under the square root. The perfect squares in the factorization are 222^2 and x8x^8 (since x8=(x4)2x^8 = (x^4)^2). 20x8=22×5×x8=22×x8×5\sqrt{20x^8} = \sqrt{2^2 \times 5 \times x^8} = \sqrt{2^2} \times \sqrt{x^8} \times \sqrt{5}
  3. Simplify Square Roots: Simplify the square roots of the perfect squares. 22=2\sqrt{2^2} = 2 and x8=x4\sqrt{x^8} = x^4 So, 20x8=2×x4×5\sqrt{20x^8} = 2 \times x^4 \times \sqrt{5}
  4. Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.\newlineThe expression simplified is 2x452x^4 \sqrt{5}.
