00:00 Solve the following problem
00:03 A "regular" root is of the order 2
00:11 When we have a number (A) to the power of (B) in a root of order (C)
00:14 The result equals the number (A) to the power of their quotient (B times C)
00:18 We will apply this formula to our exercise
00:24 Calculate the order multiplication
00:31 When we have a root of a product (A times B)
00:36 We can write it as the product of the root of each term
00:40 We will apply this formula to our exercise, and proceed to break down the root
00:49 When we have a number (A) to the power of (B) in a root of order (C)
00:52 The result equals the number (A) to the power of their quotient (B divided by C)
00:56 We will apply this formula to our exercise
01:04 Calculate the power quotient
01:12 We'll apply this formula again in the opposite direction, converting from a power to a root
01:22 This is the solution

Step-by-step solution

To solve 3x2\sqrt{\sqrt{3x^2}}, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Express the problem using exponentiation. The expression 3x2\sqrt{3x^2} can be written as (3x2)12(3x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}.
  • Step 2: Take the square root of the first expression. This can be expressed as ((3x2)12)12((3x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}})^{\frac{1}{2}}.
  • Step 3: Use the property (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}. Thus, ((3x2)12)12=(3x2)14((3x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}})^{\frac{1}{2}} = (3x^2)^{\frac{1}{4}}.
  • Step 4: Simplify further using exponent rules: (3x2)14(3x^2)^{\frac{1}{4}} becomes (314(x2)14)(3^{\frac{1}{4}} \cdot (x^2)^{\frac{1}{4}}), which simplifies to 34x12\sqrt[4]{3} \cdot x^{\frac{1}{2}}.
  • Step 5: Recognize this as 34x\sqrt[4]{3} \cdot \sqrt{x}, since x12x^{\frac{1}{2}} is x\sqrt{x}.

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is 34x \sqrt[4]{3} \cdot \sqrt{x} .
