Solution - Simplifying square roots
13*sqrt(15)
Step by Step Solution
Simplify : sqrt(2535)
Factor 2535 into its prime factors
2535 = 3 • 5 • 132
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 :
169 = 132
Factors which will remain inside the root are :
15 = 3 • 5
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 :
13 = 13
The simplified SQRT looks like this:
13 • sqrt (15)
Simplified Root :
13 • sqrt(15)How did we do?
