Simplify square root of 36x4y2?
If x is a multiplication symbol, then square root of 36(4)y^2 = square root of(4^2)(2^2)(y^2) = (4)(2)(y) = 8y If it is a variable x, then square root of 36x4y^2 = square root of (4^2)(x)(2^2)(y^2) = (4)(2)(y)(square root of x)= 8y(square root of x)
What mathematical symbol can you put between 1 and 2 to make a number greater than 1 but less than 2?
the square root symbol. that would make it 1,/2 (i don't know how to make a square root symbol, sorry) but since the numbers are next to each other it is assumed that they are being multiplied and the square root of 2 is approximately 1.414 right in between 1 and 2 :)
