Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Introduction:

We will address the following three laws of exponents:

a. Definition of root as an exponent:

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

b. The law of exponents for exponents applied to multiplication of terms in parentheses:

(ab)n=anbn (a\cdot b)^n=a^n\cdot b^n

c. The law of exponents for exponents applied to division of terms in parentheses:

(ab)n=anbn (\frac{a}{b})^n=\frac{a^n}{b^n}

Note:

(1). By combining the two laws of exponents mentioned in a (in the first and third steps ) and b (in the second step ), we can obtain a new rule:

abn=(ab)1n=a1nb1n=anbnabn=anbn \sqrt[n]{a\cdot b}=\\ (a\cdot b)^{\frac{1}{n}}=\\ a^{\frac{1}{n}}\cdot b^{\frac{1}{n}}=\\ \sqrt[n]{a}\cdot \sqrt[n]{ b}\\ \downarrow\\ \boxed{\sqrt[n]{a\cdot b}=\sqrt[n]{a}\cdot \sqrt[n]{ b}}

Specifically for the fourth root we obtain the following:

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{a\cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\cdot \sqrt{ b}}

(2). Note that by combining the two laws of exponents mentioned in a (in the first and third steps) and c (in the second step), we can obtain another new rule:

abn=(ab)1n=a1nb1n=anbnabn=anbn \sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\\ (\frac{a}{b})^{\frac{1}{n}}=\\ \frac{a^{\frac{1}{n}}}{ b^{\frac{1}{n}}}=\\ \frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{ \sqrt[n]{ b}}\\ \downarrow\\ \boxed{ \sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{ \sqrt[n]{ b}}}

Specifically for the fourth root we obtain the following:

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{\frac{a}{ b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{ b}} }

Therefore, in solving the problem, meaning - in simplifying the given expression, we will use the two new rules that we studied in the introduction:

(1).

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{a\cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\cdot \sqrt{ b}}

(2).

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{\frac{a}{ b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{ b}} }

We'll start by simplifying the expression in the numerator using the rule that we studied in the introduction (1) (however this time in the opposite direction, meaning we'll insert the multiplication of roots as a multiplication of terms under the same root) Then we'll proceed to perform the multiplication under the root in the numerator:

2045=2045=805= \frac{\sqrt{20}\cdot\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{5}}= \\ \frac{\sqrt{20\cdot4}}{\sqrt{5}}= \\ \frac{\sqrt{80}}{\sqrt{5}}= \\ We'll continue to simplify the fraction, using the rule we received in the introduction (2) (however in the opposite direction, meaning we'll insert the division of roots as a division of terms under the same root) Then we'll proceed to reduce the fraction under the root:

805=805=16=4 \frac{\sqrt{80}}{\sqrt{5}}= \\ \\ \sqrt{\frac{80}{5}}=\\ \sqrt{16}=\\ \boxed{4}

In the final stage, after reducing the fraction under the root, we used the known fourth root of the number 16.

Let's summarize the simplification process of the expression in the problem:

2045=805=16=4 \frac{\sqrt{20}\cdot\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{5}}= \\ \frac{\sqrt{80}}{\sqrt{5}}= \\ \sqrt{16}=\\ \boxed{4}

Therefore, the correct answer is answer B.

Answer

Exercise #2

Solve the following exercise:

100254= \frac{\sqrt{100}}{\sqrt{25}\cdot\sqrt{4}}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will systematically apply the properties of square roots and perform the arithmetic operations:

  • Step 1: Calculate 100\sqrt{100}.
  • Step 2: Calculate the individual square roots 25\sqrt{25} and 4\sqrt{4}, and then multiply them.
  • Step 3: Divide the result from Step 1 by the product of Step 2.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The square root of 100 is 10, since 10×10=10010 \times 10 = 100. Therefore, 100=10\sqrt{100} = 10.

Step 2: Calculate 25\sqrt{25} and 4\sqrt{4}. We know 25=5\sqrt{25} = 5 because 5×5=255 \times 5 = 25, and 4=2\sqrt{4} = 2 because 2×2=42 \times 2 = 4. Thus, the product is 254=52=10\sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt{4} = 5 \cdot 2 = 10.

Step 3: Divide the result from Step 1 by the product from Step 2: 100254=1010\frac{\sqrt{100}}{\sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt{4}} = \frac{10}{10}.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 1 1 .

As a result, the answer to the problem is 1 1 .

Answer

Exercise #3

35207= \frac{\sqrt{35}\cdot\sqrt{20}}{\sqrt{7}}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's begin the solution by applying the product property of square roots:

Combine the square roots in the numerator:

3520=3520\sqrt{35} \cdot \sqrt{20} = \sqrt{35 \cdot 20}

Calculate 3520=70035 \cdot 20 = 700, so:

3520=700\sqrt{35} \cdot \sqrt{20} = \sqrt{700}

Now, divide this square root by the square root in the denominator using the quotient property:

7007=7007\frac{\sqrt{700}}{\sqrt{7}} = \sqrt{\frac{700}{7}}

Simplify the fraction inside the square root:

7007=100\frac{700}{7} = 100

Thus, the expression becomes:

100=10\sqrt{100} = 10

Therefore, the solution to the expression 35207\frac{\sqrt{35} \cdot \sqrt{20}}{\sqrt{7}} is 1010.

The correct answer choice is:

10 10

We will address the following three laws of exponents:

a. Definition of root as an exponent:

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

b. The law of exponents for exponents applied to multiplication of terms in parentheses:

(ab)n=anbn (a\cdot b)^n=a^n\cdot b^n

c. The law of exponents for exponents applied to division of terms in parentheses:

Specifically for the fourth root we obtain the following:

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{a\cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\cdot \sqrt{ b}}

e. Note that by combining the two laws of exponents mentioned in a' (in the first and third steps ) and c' (in the second step ), we can obtain another new rule:

Specifically for the fourth root we obtain the following:

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{\frac{a}{ b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{ b}} }

Therefore, in solving the problem, that is - in simplifying the given expression, we apply the two new rules that we studied in the introduction:

(1).

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{a\cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\cdot \sqrt{ b}} (2).

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{\frac{a}{ b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{ b}} }

We'll start by simplifying the expression in the numerator using the rule that we studied in the introduction (1) (however this time in the opposite direction, meaning we insert the multiplication of roots as a multiplication of terms under the same root) we then proceed to perform the multiplication under the root in the numerator:

70107=70107=7007= \frac{\sqrt{70}\cdot\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{7}}= \\ \frac{\sqrt{70\cdot10}}{\sqrt{7}}= \\ \frac{\sqrt{700}}{\sqrt{7}}= \\ Continue to simplify the fraction, using the rule that we studied in the introduction (2) ( in the opposite direction, meaning we'll insert the division of roots as a division of terms under the same root) we'll then proceed to reduce the fraction under the root:

7007=7007=100=10 \frac{\sqrt{700}}{\sqrt{7}}= \\ \sqrt{\frac{700}{7}}=\\ \sqrt{100}=\\ \boxed{10}

In the final stage, after reducing the fraction under the root, we used the known fourth root of the number 100.

Let's summarize the process of simplifying the expression in the problem:

70107=7007=100=10 \frac{\sqrt{70}\cdot\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{7}}= \\ \frac{\sqrt{700}}{\sqrt{7}}= \\ \sqrt{100}=\\ \boxed{10}

Therefore, the correct answer is answer a'.

Exercise #5

Solve the following exercise:

29234= \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{9}\cdot\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}\cdot\sqrt{4}}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's proceed to simplify the expression:

  • First, evaluate the numerator: 292\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{9} \cdot \sqrt{2}. Using the property ab=ab\sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \cdot b}, we simplify it: 292=36\sqrt{2 \cdot 9 \cdot 2} = \sqrt{36}.
  • 36\sqrt{36} simplifies to 6, as 36 is a perfect square.
  • Next, evaluate the denominator 34\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{4}:
  • 34\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{4} also applies the property ab=ab\sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \cdot b}, simplifying to 12\sqrt{12}.
  • Since 12 is 4×34 \times 3, and 4=2\sqrt{4} = 2, 12\sqrt{12} simplifies to 232\sqrt{3}.
  • Now, the original expression becomes 623\frac{6}{2\sqrt{3}}.
  • Simplify 62\frac{6}{2} to get 62=3\frac{6}{2} = 3.
  • The entire expression now is 33\frac{3}{\sqrt{3}}.
  • To rationalize the expression 33\frac{3}{\sqrt{3}}, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 3\sqrt{3}:
  • This becomes 3333=333=3\frac{3 \cdot \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{3}} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{3} = \sqrt{3}

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 3\sqrt{3}.

Exercise #6

Solve the following exercise:

4916= \frac{\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{16}}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let's carefully follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Simplify each square root:

4=2,9=3,16=4 \sqrt{4} = 2, \quad \sqrt{9} = 3, \quad \sqrt{16} = 4

  • Step 2: Calculate the expression in the numerator:

The expression in the numerator is 49\sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{9}. Substituting the simplified values, we have:
23=62 \cdot 3 = 6

  • Step 3: Compute the division with the denominator:

Now, divide the result from Step 2 by the simplified denominator:
64=32 \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}

Thus, the value of the expression is 32\frac{3}{2}.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 32\frac{3}{2}.

Exercise #7

Solve the following exercise:

1030100= \frac{\sqrt{10}\cdot\sqrt{30}}{\sqrt{100}}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 1030100\frac{\sqrt{10} \cdot \sqrt{30}}{\sqrt{100}}, we'll use the rules of square roots, specifically the multiplication and division properties.

Start by simplifying the numerator using the multiplication property of square roots:

  • 1030=10×30=300\sqrt{10} \cdot \sqrt{30} = \sqrt{10 \times 30} = \sqrt{300}

Next, we simplify the entire fraction using the division property of square roots:

  • 300100=300100=3\frac{\sqrt{300}}{\sqrt{100}} = \sqrt{\frac{300}{100}} = \sqrt{3}

Thus, the simplified form of the expression 1030100\frac{\sqrt{10} \cdot \sqrt{30}}{\sqrt{100}} is 3\sqrt{3}.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 3 \sqrt{3} .

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Introduction:

We will address the following two laws of exponents:

a. The definition of root as an exponent:

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

b. The law of exponents for an exponent applied to terms in parentheses:

(ab)n=anbn (\frac{a}{b})^n=\frac{a^n}{b^n}

abn=anbn \boxed{ \sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{ \sqrt[n]{ b}}}

We'll start by simplifying the expression using the rule we studied in the introduction (however this time in the opposite direction, meaning we'll insert the product of roots as a product of terms under the same root) We'll then proceed to perform the multiplication under the root and finally we'll perform the fifth root operation:

128484=12884=164=2 \frac{\sqrt[4]{128}}{\sqrt[4]{8}}= \\ \sqrt[4]{\frac{128}{8}}=\\ \sqrt[4]{16}=\\ \boxed{2}

Therefore, the correct answer is answer B.
