Simplify 24p13q6\sqrt{24 p^{13} q^{6}}, assuming all variables are positive. Express exponents as positive values.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. All variables are positive.
2. The expression to be simplified is 24p13q6\sqrt{24 p^{13} q^{6}}.
3. All exponents should be positive in the simplified form.

STEP 2

First, we need to break down the number 24 into its prime factors.
24=23324 = 2^3 \cdot 3

STEP 3

Now, we rewrite the expression with the prime factorization of 24.
24p13q6=233p13q6\sqrt{24 p^{13} q^{6}} = \sqrt{2^3 \cdot 3 \cdot p^{13} \cdot q^{6}}

STEP 4

Next, we look for perfect squares within the radicand (the expression inside the square root) that we can take out of the square root. A perfect square is a number or a variable raised to an even power.

STEP 5

We identify the perfect squares in the radicand:
1. 232^3 can be written as 2222^2 \cdot 2 where 222^2 is a perfect square.
2. p13p^{13} can be written as p12pp^{12} \cdot p where p12p^{12} is a perfect square because 12 is an even number.
3. q6q^{6} is already a perfect square because 6 is an even number.

STEP 6

Rewrite the radicand by separating the perfect squares from the non-perfect squares.
233p13q6=2223p12pq6\sqrt{2^3 \cdot 3 \cdot p^{13} \cdot q^{6}} = \sqrt{2^2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot p^{12} \cdot p \cdot q^{6}}

STEP 7

Now, take the square root of the perfect squares, remembering that the square root of a product is the product of the square roots.
2223p12pq6=22p12q623p\sqrt{2^2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot p^{12} \cdot p \cdot q^{6}} = \sqrt{2^2} \cdot \sqrt{p^{12}} \cdot \sqrt{q^{6}} \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot 3 \cdot p}

STEP 8

Calculate the square roots of the perfect squares.
22=2\sqrt{2^2} = 2 p12=p6\sqrt{p^{12}} = p^6 q6=q3\sqrt{q^{6}} = q^3

STEP 9

Combine the results from the previous step with the remaining radicand.
2223p12pq6=2p6q323p\sqrt{2^2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot p^{12} \cdot p \cdot q^{6}} = 2 \cdot p^6 \cdot q^3 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot 3 \cdot p}

STEP 10

Simplify the remaining radicand by multiplying the numbers under the square root.
23p=6p\sqrt{2 \cdot 3 \cdot p} = \sqrt{6p}

STEP 11

Combine the simplified square root with the numbers and variables taken out of the original square root.
2p6q36p2 \cdot p^6 \cdot q^3 \cdot \sqrt{6p}

STEP 12

The expression is now simplified with all exponents positive.
24p13q6=2p6q36p\sqrt{24 p^{13} q^{6}} = 2 p^6 q^3 \sqrt{6p}
This is the simplified form of the given expression.
