Which of the following is true of $\sqrt{792}$ ?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To determine which two consecutive integers flank $\sqrt{792}$ out of the set $\left \{ 27, 28, 29, 30, 31\right \}$ , square each number. The squares of each number in the set are:

$27^{2} = 27 \times 27 = 729$

$28^{2}= 28 \times 28 = \textbf{784}$

$29^{2} = 29 \times 29 = \textbf{841}$

$30^{2} = 30 \times 30 = 900$

$31^{2} = 31 \times 31 = 961$

;

it follows that

$\sqrt{784 }< \sqrt{729 }< \sqrt{841}$

or

$28 < \sqrt{729 }<29$ .

This is the correct choice.

Question

Simplify:

$\sqrt{42}$

Do not use a calculator.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The prime factorization of 42 is

$42 = 2 \times 3 \times 7$ .

Since 42 is the product of distinct primes, it has no perfect square factors, and, therefore, its square root cannot be simplified further. It is already in simplifed form.

Question

Simplify:

$\sqrt{48}$

Do not use a calculator.

Answer

The prime factorization of 48 is

$48 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3$ .

Rewrite, and use the product of radicals property to simplify:

$\sqrt{48}$

$= \sqrt{ 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3}$

$= \sqrt{ 2 \times 2 } \times \sqrt{ 2 \times 2 } \times \sqrt{ 3}$

$= 2 \times 2 \times \sqrt{ 3}$

$=4 \sqrt{ 3}$

Question

Factor: $2\sqrt{120}$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

In order to factor the radical, we will need to rewrite 120 as multiples of perfect squares.

$2\sqrt{120} = 2\sqrt{30} \cdot \sqrt{4}$

Reduce the known term

$2\sqrt{30} \cdot \sqrt{4} =2\sqrt{30} \cdot 2 = 4\sqrt{30}$

The value of $\sqrt{30}$ cannot be factored any further.

The answer is: $4\sqrt{30}$

Question

Rationalize: $\frac{3}{2\sqrt2}$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

In order to rationalize the radical, we will need to multiply both the top and bottom by square root two.

$\frac{3}{2\sqrt2}\cdot\frac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt2} = \frac{3\sqrt2}{2\cdot 2}$

The answer is: $\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{4}$

Question

Rationalize: $\frac{2}{\sqrt5}$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

In order to eliminate the radical on the denominator, we will need to multiply root five on the top and bottom of the fraction.

$\frac{2}{\sqrt5}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}$

The answer is: $\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}$

Question

Rationalize: $\frac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt{20}}$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Simplify the denominator by factoring using perfect squares.

$\sqrt{20} = \sqrt4 \cdot \sqrt5 = 2\sqrt{5}$

Rewrite the fraction.

$\frac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt{20}}=\frac{\sqrt3}{2\sqrt{5}}$

Multiply the top and bottom by root 5.

$\frac{\sqrt3}{2\sqrt{5}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt5}{\sqrt5} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{10}$

The answer is: $\frac{\sqrt{15}}{10}$

Question

Rationalize: $\frac{2}{\sqrt{12}}$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Factor the denominator by factors of perfect squares.

$\sqrt{12} = \sqrt4 \cdot \sqrt3 = 2\sqrt{3}$

Replace the term.

$\frac{2}{\sqrt{12}} = \frac{2}{2\sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt3}$

Multiply by root three on the top and bottom.

$\frac{1}{\sqrt3} \cdot \frac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt3} = \frac{\sqrt3}{3}$

The answer is: $\frac{\sqrt3}{3}$
