I have been trying to do this for two hours- I have turned the Brian McLogan and TheChemistryTutor on YouTube and still don’t understand this. Please help if you can.

okay, first off, what does $\sqrt{49}$ simplify to?

for some reason you just removed a 7 from it and moved on

#

Square root of 7

#

?

daring forge Apr 11, 2024, 10:54 PM

#

nope

#

do you know what square root means

#

what times what is the value inside the square root

left oriole Apr 11, 2024, 10:55 PM

7

this is correct bwt

nice!

wait no

thats not correct

Darn

daring forge Apr 11, 2024, 10:55 PM

#

thats very close to being correct but not quite

#

so, do you know that like, say, $\sqrt a \times \sqrt b = \sqrt{ab}$

Absolute value of 7?

daring forge Apr 11, 2024, 10:56 PM

#

for example, $\sqrt8 \times \sqrt3 = \sqrt{24}$

Is it 5 square root 4?

daring forge Apr 11, 2024, 11:02 PM

civic merlin **!𒐪 ɹɐupoɯ⇂ㄥ8𝟝 𒐪!**

why dont you convert 5sqrt4 into this form and see what you get

Hello?

#

Dang I guess I don’t actually

daring forge Apr 11, 2024, 11:06 PM

what

okay, $5=\sqrt{?}$

Square root 5

#

Because it can’t be changed anymore?

#

I think

#

?

daring forge Apr 11, 2024, 11:14 PM

#

nope

#

square root of what is 5?

#

or rather

#

5 times 5 is what?

#

i think the issue here is you dont understand square roots very well

#

which is why im asking these pretty silly looking questions, but i need to reinforce it

left oriole Apr 11, 2024, 11:27 PM

#

25?

#

But I thought the point was to make the number as small as possible

#

So I thought the 5 would stay small not increase in number

#

Why does the number increase to 25? 5 x 5 is 25 which is 5 squared I think-so why would the square root be 25?

daring forge Apr 11, 2024, 11:51 PM

oh yea

#

its just reinforcing the concept of square root

daring forge Apr 11, 2024, 11:51 PM

civic merlin **!𒐪 ɹɐupoɯ⇂ㄥ8𝟝 𒐪!**

so now, can you follow through with this?

left oriole Apr 12, 2024, 12:03 AM

#

Square root of 5 x square root of 5 = 25

#

?

daring forge Apr 12, 2024, 12:03 AM

#

i want you to convert what you wrote,

#

$5\sqrt2$

into one singular square root

#

to check if its corrrect

#

can you do that?

left oriole Apr 12, 2024, 12:29 AM

#

I don’t know if that’s possible

#

How can the square root 2 get smaller

#

It’s just 2 x1

#

The five can’t get smaller

you want to make it one root

#

please review your notes on how to do this

2 square root 5 instead of

#

5 square root 2

#

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH

#

It’s because the 5 is left over and not the 2 right? So it’s 2 square root 5
