Question

Simplify the radical expression. Show all your steps. √363 - 3√27

Answer 1

Answer:

2 sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

sqrt(363) - 3 sqrt(27)

sqrt(27) = sqrt(3^3) = 3 sqrt(3):

sqrt(363) - 33 sqrt(3)

sqrt(363) = sqrt(3×11^2) = 11 sqrt(3):

11 sqrt(3) - 3×3 sqrt(3)

-3×3 = -9:

11 sqrt(3) + -9 sqrt(3)

11 sqrt(3) - 9 sqrt(3) = 2 sqrt(3):

Answer: 2 sqrt(3)
