Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to simplify two expressions, one involving a square root and a power, and the other involving the square root of variables. Watch out! Remember the rules of exponents and square roots, especially when dealing with variables!
Don't forget those absolute value signs when taking square roots of variables with even exponents.

STEP 2

1. Simplify the first expression
2. Simplify the second expression

STEP 3

Alright, let's **tackle** this first expression, (57)2(5 \sqrt{7})^{2}!
Remember, squaring something means multiplying it by itself.
So, let's **rewrite** it:
(57)2=(57)(57)(5 \sqrt{7})^{2} = (5 \sqrt{7}) \cdot (5 \sqrt{7})

STEP 4

Now, we can **rearrange** things a bit, grouping the numbers and the square roots together:
(55)(77)(5 \cdot 5) \cdot (\sqrt{7} \cdot \sqrt{7})

STEP 5

Let's **multiply** those numbers: 55=255 \cdot 5 = 25.
And remember, multiplying a square root by itself is like **undoing** the square root!
So, 77=7\sqrt{7} \cdot \sqrt{7} = 7.
This gives us:
25725 \cdot 7

STEP 6

Finally, let's **multiply** these together to get our **final answer**:
257=17525 \cdot 7 = 175

STEP 7

Now, for the second expression, a2b10\sqrt{a^{2} b^{10}}.
We can **rewrite** this using the **properties of square roots**:
a2b10=a2b10\sqrt{a^{2} b^{10}} = \sqrt{a^{2}} \cdot \sqrt{b^{10}}

STEP 8

Remember, the square root of a variable raised to an even power is the absolute value of the variable raised to half that power.
So, a2=a\sqrt{a^{2}} = |a|.
And b10=b5\sqrt{b^{10}} = |b^{5}|.
This gives us:
ab5|a| \cdot |b^{5}|

STEP 9

Since b5|b^5| is always non-negative, we can **rewrite** this as:
ab5=ab5|a| \cdot |b^{5}| = |a| b^{5}

STEP 10

So our **final simplified expression** is:
ab5|a| b^{5}

STEP 11

The simplified form of (57)2(5 \sqrt{7})^{2} is **175 (B)**.
The simplest form of a2b10\sqrt{a^{2} b^{10}} is ab5|a| b^{5} **(A)**.
