Which is the simplest radical form of √52?

1 answer:

4 0

Short answer: 2 * sqrt(13)
Remark
There are a number of ways to look at this. I'll pick the easiest.

Step one
Factor 52 until there are no more prime factors to be used.

52 = 2 * 26
52 = 2 * 2 * 13. That's as far as you can go.

Rule
For every 2 equal prime factors, 1 of them can be taken out side of the root sign. The other one disappears.

sqrt(52) = sqrt(2*2* 13) = 2*sqrt(13)

Answer 2sqrt(13) <<<< answer
