QuestionSimplify 18\sqrt{18}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are asked to simplify the square root of18. We are working in the real number system

STEP 2

To simplify the square root of a number, we need to find the prime factorization of the number under the root.18=2×2\sqrt{18} = \sqrt{2 \times^2}

STEP 3

We can simplify the square root by taking the square root of any perfect square numbers. In this case, 323^2 is a perfect square.
18=2×32=2×32\sqrt{18} = \sqrt{2 \times3^2} = \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{3^2}

STEP 4

Now, simplify the square root of the perfect square number.
18=2×32=2×3\sqrt{18} = \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{3^2} = \sqrt{2} \times3

STEP 5

The final simplified form of 18\sqrt{18} is 323\sqrt{2}.
So, 18=32\sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}.
