Question

Simplify √ 125 x 4 y 7 to the form a √ b .

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{5x^2y^3\sqrt{5y}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{125x^4y^7}=\sqrt{25\cdot5\cdot x^{2+2}\cdot y^{2+2+2+1}}\\\\\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}}\\\\=\sqrt{25\cdot5\cdot x^2\cdot x^2\cdot y^2\cdot y^2\cdot y^2\cdot y^1}\\\\\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\=\sqrt{25}\cdot\sqrt5\cdot\sqrt{x^2}\cdot\sqrt{x^2}\cdot\sqrt{y^2}\cdot\sqrt{y^2}\cdot\sqrt{y^2}\cdot\sqrt{y}\\\\\text{use}\ \sqrt{a^2}=a\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\\\\=5\cdot\sqrt5\cdot x\cdot x\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot\sqrt{y}\\\\=5x^2y^3\sqrt{5y}$
