Question

How do you simplify `sqrt(17)*sqrt(2b)`?

Answer 1

Use this rule of exponents to simplify the expression:

`sqrt(color(red)(a)) * sqrt(color(blue)(b)) = sqrt(color(red)(a) * color(blue)(b))`

`sqrt(color(red)(17)) * sqrt(color(blue)(2b)) = sqrt(color(red)(17) * color(blue)(2b)) = sqrt(34b)`
