If you count the squares or units I got 12.
4(-6x – 3) + 24x = -72x + 132
Step 1 -24x – 12 + 24x = -72x + 132 Distribute Property of Equality
Step 2: –12 = -72x + 132 equivalent
Step 3: -144 = -72x Subtraction Property of equality
Step 4: 2 = x Equivalent / Division property of equality
First, I'm going to separate factor the expression inside of the square root.
sqrt[ (2/18) * (x^5) ]
sqrt[ (1/9) * (x^5) ]
We can take the square root of 1/9 easily, because 1 and 9 are both perfect squares. The square root of 1/9 is 1/3.
Looking at the x^5, we can separate it into x^2 * x^2 * x^1. The square root of x^2 is x. So, we now also have an x^2 on the outside because there are two x^2s in our expanded form.
ANSWER: (x^2 * sqrt(x)) / 3
(Option 1)
Hope this helps!
