Question

How would you simplify `3sqrt5`?

Answer 1

`3sqrt(5)` is already in simplest form

Explanation:

The form `3sqrt(5)` is normally considered simplest form.

It is possible to express the same value as a single square root:

`3sqrt(5) = sqrt(3^2)sqrt(5) = sqrt(3^2 * 5) = sqrt(45)`

However, this is not usually considered the simplest form. We would normally simplify `sqrt(45)` as `3sqrt(5)`.
