simplify the following radical expression: sqrt (x) * sqrt (x)
a) x
b) sqrt (x)
c)2
d) no soltuion exists
just need to know if my answer is correct or not and i picked a
Right. :)
thanks jen :)
To simplify the given radical expression sqrt(x) * sqrt(x), you can use the product of square roots property, which states that the square root of a product is equal to the product of the square roots of the individual factors.
So, applying this property, we can simplify sqrt(x) * sqrt(x) as sqrt(x * x), which is equal to sqrt(x^2).
Taking the square root of x^2 gives you x.
Hence, the correct simplification of sqrt(x) * sqrt(x) is "a) x". Therefore, your choice of option a) is correct.
