Look for the largest square number in its factors. The square root of 512 is equal to the square root of 2 times the square root of 256. The square root of 256 is 16. The square root of 512 simplifies to 16 times the square root of 2.
Replace the radical sign with the exponent 0.5. For example sqrt(7) = 70.5
You can't simplify it more in radical form
12^6
Since 242 is divisible by 121, which is a perfect square, you can simplify it to: 11 radical 2
Get a calculator with the radical sign, press on whatever number you want to square root, and then press on the radical sign.
You look for a perfect square and take it out of the radical (while taking the square root of it).
it the number that is simfilied
The radical form is √1300. It is possible to simplify that but the question does not require simplification.
an alg expression involving square roots, cube roots, etc
The square roots of 13 cannot be simplified.
√200 = 10√2. In order to simplify square roots, you find what factors of the number under the radical sign you can take the square root of. In the case of 200, its factors are 5 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 2. You can take the square root of 2 * 2 and 5 * 5, which are 2 and 5, respectively. 2 and 5 are on the outside of the radical sign, so you multiply them together to equal 10, while the remaining 2 stays under the radical.
When in doubt always square both sides of the equation.
