QuestionSimplify the radical expression: sqrt(27) =

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are asked to simplify the radical expression 27\sqrt{27}. . We are to use Property1 for radicals, which states that ab=ab\sqrt{ab} = \sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b}.
3. All variables represent positive numbers.

STEP 2

We need to find factors of27 that are perfect squares. The number27 can be written as 9×9 \times, where9 is a perfect square.
27=9×\sqrt{27} = \sqrt{9 \times}

STEP 3

Now, we apply Property1 for radicals to separate the square root of9 and the square root of3.
9×3=9×3\sqrt{9 \times3} = \sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{3}

STEP 4

We calculate the square root of9, which is3.
9=3\sqrt{9} =3So,
9×3=3×3\sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{3} =3 \times \sqrt{3}

STEP 5

The simplified form of 27\sqrt{27} is 333\sqrt{3}.
So, 27=33\sqrt{27} =3\sqrt{3}.
