Question

Which of the following is true about the expression √3•2?

Answer 1

Answer:

 √3 *2 =  2√3

or

√3 * √2 = 2.4494...

Step-by-step explanation:

If you mean the expression  √3 * 2 then the solution is 2√3 since 2 is a rational number not under a square root and  √3 is irrational. They cannot be combined.

If you mean the expression  √3 * √2 then the expression has two pieces ti it √3 and √2. Since neither 3 nor 2 are perfect square, the square root of each is irrational.

Their product will also be irrational since √3 * √2 = √6. 6 is not a perfect square either. The result is irrational. It equals 2.4494...
