How would you simplify sqrt48 + sqrt3?
4 Answers
Explanation:
We can split up
Thus,
The original expression can be rewritten as
4sqrt3+sqrt3=sqrt3(4+1)=5sqrt3
Short story, try watching the result of division of the two numbers and substitute it in the bigger one.
Explanation:
Always try reducing the high number to something of which you know the root. Here someone should notice that:
The root of 16 is known, while the root of 3 can be factored. Therefore:
5sqrt3
Explanation:
radicals in simplified form are
asqrtb
where a is a rational number.to begin with , simplify
sqrt48 by considering the factors of 48 , particularly 'squares'
the factors required here are 16 (square) and 3.
using the following :
sqrta xx sqrtb hArr sqrtab
sqrt48 = sqrt16 xx sqrt3 = 4sqrt3 hence
sqrt48 + sqrt3 = 4sqrt3 + sqrt3 = 5sqrt3

Explanation:
To simplify radicals, we must find first its largest "perfect squares" that evenly divides to simplify.
Since,
PerfectSquares:
we can simplify
we get,
using theorem from above,
simplify,
since the rule of radical signs is just like variables we can combine like terms, with a slight difference.
