Simplify √20 + √45 - √5?
Solution:
The process of writing a number as the product of prime numbers is prime factorization.
√20 +√45-√5 [Given]
Using prime factorization, we get
= √(2 × 2 × 5) + √(3 × 3 × 5) + √5
By further simplification
= √(22 × 5) + √(32 × 5) + √5
Taking the terms out of the square root
= 2√5 +3√5 + √5
=√5(2+3+1)
So we get
= 6√5
Therefore, by simplifying √20 +√45-√5 we get 6√5.
Simplify √20 + √45 - √5?
Summary:
By simplifying √20 + √45 - √5, we get 6√5.
