Help with math radicals!!!?

Question

ok so say you have the expression:

8√27

What are the steps you have to take to solve it. Please explain so that I can learn how to do it! Is it the same for negatives?

Answer 1

What do you mean by "solve it" -- it is an expression, not an equation.

Do you want to simplify it? If so, then I suspect they want you to realize that 27 = 3^3 -- so you could write it as 8√(3^3) = 8√(3^2)*√3 = 8*3*√3=24√3

It does not work the same for negatives, because the square root of a negative number is not defined in the real number system.

Answer 2

8√27=8√(9*3)=8*3√3=24√3
