Solution - Simplifying square roots
11
Step by Step Solution
Simplify : sqrt(121)
Factor 121 into its prime factors
121 = 112
To simplify a square root, we extract factors which are squares, i.e., factors that are raised to an even exponent.
Factors which will be extracted are :
121 = 112
No factors remain inside the root !!
To complete the simplification we take the squre root of the factors which are to be extracted. We do this by dividing their exponents by 2 :
11 = 11
The simplified SQRT looks like this:
