Question

Which expressions are equivalent to the given expression? 40

Answer 1

`2√(10)`

`40^(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

|If you can't type the square root symbol, then just write it as square root of 40 but not 40 itself|

`√(40)`

Factor out 40

40: 4 and 10

The 4 is the number that can be square root so then square root the 4 and bring the 10 inside the radical

`2√(10)`

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

`a^(1)/(2) =\sqrt[2]{a}`

`40^(1)/(2)=\sqrt[2]{40}`

`\sqrt[2]{40} =2√(10)`

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

`160^(1)/(2) =\sqrt[2]{160}`

`\sqrt[2]{160} =4√(10)`
