00:00 Solve
00:03 The root of a number (A) multiplied by the root of another number (B)
00:07 equals the root of their product (A multiplied by B)
00:11 Let's use this formula in our exercise, and calculate the product
00:14 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's start with a reminder of the definition of a root as a power:

an=a1n \sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}}

We will then use the fact that raising the number 1 to any power always yields the result 1, particularly raising it to the power of half of the square root (which we obtain by using the definition of root as a power mentioned earlier),

In other words:

301=3012=30112=301=30 \sqrt{30}\cdot\sqrt{1}= \\ \downarrow\\ \sqrt{30}\cdot\sqrt[2]{1}=\\ \sqrt{30}\cdot 1^{\frac{1}{2}}=\\ \sqrt{30} \cdot1=\\ \boxed{\sqrt{30}} Therefore, the correct answer is answer C.

Answer

30 \sqrt{30}
