Q. What is the product of 108 and 412 in simplest radical form?Answer:
Write Expression: Write down the expression to be simplified.We need to find the product of 108 and 412.
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)
Calculate Product of Coefficients: Calculate the product of the coefficients. 10×4=40
Combine Radicands: Use the property of radicals that a×b=a×b to combine the radicands.8×12=8×12
Calculate Product of Radicands: Calculate the product of the radicands. 8×12=96
Combine Coefficient and Radicand: Combine the coefficient and the radicand. 40×96
Simplify Square Root: Simplify the square root by finding the prime factors of the radicand. 96=2×2×2×2×2×3=25×3
Group Identical Factors: Group the identical factors and use the property that a2=a.25×3=24×2×3=24×2×3
Simplify Perfect Square: Simplify the square root of the perfect square and the remaining radicand. 24×2×3=22×2×3=4×6
Multiply Simplified Square Root: Multiply the simplified square root by the coefficient.40×4×6=160×6
