Question

Write an explanation of how you solved the problem. Write the explanation so that another student could follow your thought process.

Answer 1

- The solution steps are given below:

`\begin{gathered} √(125) \\ 125\text{ can be written as:} \\ 125=5*25 \\ \\ \text{ Thus, we have:} \\ √(125)=√(5*25) \\ \\ \text{ Using the surd rule that:} \\ √(ab)=√(a)*√(b) \\ \text{ We have:} \\ \\ √(5*25)=√(5)*√(25) \\ \\ \therefore√(125)=√(5)*5 \\ \\ =5√(5) \end{gathered}`

Final Answer

The answer is

`5√(5)`
