Question

How do you simplify `\sqrt { 20x ^ { 8} y ^ { 11} }`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, rewrite the expression asL

`sqrt(4x^8y^10 * 5y)`

Next, use this rule of radicals to complete the simplification:

`sqrt(color(red)(4x^8y^10) * color(blue)(5y)) => sqrt(color(red)(4x^8y^10)) * sqrt(color(blue)(5y)) => 2x^4y^5sqrt(5y)`
