Question

Simplify.

Answer 1

Answer: $3\sqrt{7}$

3*sqrt(7)

3 times the square root of 7

====================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming the V stands for square root. You can write sqrt(63).

$\sqrt{63} = \sqrt{9*7}\\\\\sqrt{63} = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{7}\\\\\sqrt{63} = 3\sqrt{7}$

The idea is to factor 63 in such a way that one factor is the largest perfect square possible, that way we can pull the root apart to simplify as shown above. The rule I used for the second step is $\sqrt{x*y} = \sqrt{x}*\sqrt{y}$
