In order to find the simplest radical form of a square root, you need prime factorize the number. In order to do this, you take a number and divide it by different prime numbers until all of its factors are now prime. We will use 24 as our example. 24 divided by 2 (which is prime) is 12. 12 divided by 2, is 6. 6 divided by 2 is 3. Therefor, our prime factorization of 24 is 2^3 * 3, which basically means 8 * 3. Then, take take out pairs of the same number and put on the OUTSIDE of the root. However, make sure that it is NEXT to the square root and not inside the mini hook that the square root makes. This means that that number is multiplying the square root of the number. Now, the only pair in this prime factorization is 2, so take two out of the prime factorization and that leaves us with square root 6 times 2, which is the answer.

Also, when taking out pairs, only take one number from the pair (in this case 2) and put it on the outside. If there is another pair, multiply that number by the other number. So if there was a pair of 3 and a pair of 2, take out 1 three and 1 two and multiply them and put on the outside.

which type of transformation preserves the symmetry of an even function f(x) but does not preserve the symmetry of an odd functi

Vinvika [58]

The type of transformation that preserves the symmetry is Vertical translation.

For instance, a parabola is still symmetric about the y-axis if you move it up. It loses its symmetry if you move it to the left or right. Reflection keeps both even and odd functions symmetrical.

<h3>What is the difference between even and odd function ?</h3>

The symmetry of a function is described using the terms even and odd. On a graph, an even function is symmetric about the y-axis. An odd function has symmetric behavior around a graph's origin $(0, 0)$ . This means that if you rotate an odd function 180 degrees around the origin, the function you started with will still exist.
