Question

Simplify completely the radical expression sqrt(735)

Write your answer as a number a*sqrt(b).

What is the sum of a and b?

Answer 1

Simplifying the radical expression
`√(735)` we get
`\mathbf{7√(15)}`

Write your answer as a number a*sqrt(b)

`\mathbf{7√(15)}`

What is the sum of a and b?

We can't find the sum of a and b.

Explanation:

We need to simplify completely the radical expression
`√(735)`

First we need to find prime factors of 735

Prime factors of 735 are: 3x5x7x7

Solving:

`√(735)\\=√(3* 5 * 7 * 7) \\=√(3* 5 * 7^2)\\=√(7^2)√(3* 15)\\=7√(15)`

So, simplifying the radical expression
`√(735)` we get
`\mathbf{7√(15)}`

Write your answer as a number a*sqrt(b)

`\mathbf{7√(15)}`

What is the sum of a and b?

We can't find the sum of a and b.
