Q. What is the product of 108 10 \sqrt{8} and 412 4 \sqrt{12} in simplest radical form?\newlineAnswer:
  1. Write Expression: Write down the expression to be simplified.\newlineWe need to find the product of 10810\sqrt{8} and 4124\sqrt{12}.
  2. Multiply Coefficients and Radicands: Multiply the coefficients (numbers outside the square roots) and the radicands (numbers inside the square roots) separately. 108×412=(10×4)×(8×12)10\sqrt{8} \times 4\sqrt{12} = (10 \times 4) \times (\sqrt{8} \times \sqrt{12})
  3. Calculate Product of Coefficients: Calculate the product of the coefficients. 10×4=4010 \times 4 = 40
  4. Combine Radicands: Use the property of radicals that a×b=a×b\sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \times b} to combine the radicands.8×12=8×12\sqrt{8} \times \sqrt{12} = \sqrt{8 \times 12}
  5. Calculate Product of Radicands: Calculate the product of the radicands. 8×12=968 \times 12 = 96
  6. Combine Coefficient and Radicand: Combine the coefficient and the radicand. 40×9640 \times \sqrt{96}
  7. Simplify Square Root: Simplify the square root by finding the prime factors of the radicand. 96=2×2×2×2×2×3=25×3\sqrt{96} = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3} = \sqrt{2^5 \times 3}
  8. Group Identical Factors: Group the identical factors and use the property that a2=a\sqrt{a^2} = a.25×3=24×2×3=24×2×3\sqrt{2^5 \times 3} = \sqrt{2^4 \times 2 \times 3} = \sqrt{2^4} \times \sqrt{2 \times 3}
  9. Simplify Perfect Square: Simplify the square root of the perfect square and the remaining radicand. 24×2×3=22×2×3=4×6\sqrt{2^4} \times \sqrt{2 \times 3} = 2^2 \times \sqrt{2 \times 3} = 4 \times \sqrt{6}
  10. Multiply Simplified Square Root: Multiply the simplified square root by the coefficient.\newline40×4×6=160×640 \times 4 \times \sqrt{6} = 160 \times \sqrt{6}
