Question

Express the following surds in the simplest form

Answer 1

$\sqrt{128} \\ = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2} \\ = \sqrt{ {2}^{2} \times {2}^{2} \times {2}^{2} } \\ = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \\ = 8$

$\sqrt{48} \\ = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3} \\ = \sqrt{ {2}^{2} \times {2}^{2} \times 3 } \\ = 2 \times 2 \sqrt{3} \\ = 4 \sqrt{3}$

$\sqrt{300} \\ = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times3 \times 5 \times 5} \\ = \sqrt{ {2}^{2} \times 3 \times {5}^{2} } \\ = 2 \times 5 \sqrt{3} \\ = 10 \sqrt{3}$

Hope you could get an idea from here.
