Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are asked to simplify the expression 200\sqrt{200}. . We can use the property of radicals that ab=a×b\sqrt{ab} = \sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b}.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the prime factorization of200. This will allow us to simplify the square root.

STEP 3

The prime factorization of200 is 23×522^3 \times5^2.

STEP 4

We can rewrite 200\sqrt{200} as 23×2\sqrt{2^3 \times^2}.

STEP 5

Using the property of radicals, we can rewrite this as 23×52\sqrt{2^3} \times \sqrt{5^2}.

STEP 6

implify 23\sqrt{2^3} and 52\sqrt{5^2}.
23=22\sqrt{2^3} =2 \sqrt{2}52=5\sqrt{5^2} =5

STEP 7

Multiply the results together to get the simplified form of 200\sqrt{200}.
200=22×5\sqrt{200} =2 \sqrt{2} \times5

STEP 8

implify the expression.
200=102\sqrt{200} =10 \sqrt{2}Therefore, the expression 200\sqrt{200} is equivalent to 10210 \sqrt{2}, which corresponds to option B.
