Q. Communicate:\newline\#2020 Explain in full sentences why the radical expression is or is not in simplifie form. Give more than one reason to back up your answer.\newline12n32n \frac{\sqrt{12 n}}{\sqrt{32 n}}
  1. Factor and Simplify: First, let's factor the numbers under the radicals to see if they can be simplified.\newline12n=4×3×n=4×3n\sqrt{12 n} = \sqrt{4 \times 3 \times n} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{3n}\newline32n=16×2×n=16×2n\sqrt{32 n} = \sqrt{16 \times 2 \times n} = \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{2n}
  2. Simplify Perfect Squares: Now, simplify the square roots of the perfect squares. 4=2\sqrt{4} = 2 and 16=4\sqrt{16} = 4 So, 12n32n\frac{\sqrt{12 n}}{\sqrt{32 n}} becomes 23n42n\frac{2 \cdot \sqrt{3n}}{4 \cdot \sqrt{2n}}
  3. Simplify Fraction: Next, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 22.(2×3n)/(4×2n)=(3n)/(2×2n)(2 \times \sqrt{3n}) / (4 \times \sqrt{2n}) = (\sqrt{3n}) / (2 \times \sqrt{2n})
  4. Divide Radicands: Now, let's simplify the radical expression further by dividing the radicands (the numbers under the radicals). 3n2n=3n2n\frac{\sqrt{3n}}{\sqrt{2n}} = \sqrt{\frac{3n}{2n}}
  5. Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression under the radical. 3n2n=32\sqrt{\frac{3n}{2n}} = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}
  6. Check for Simplification: Finally, we check if the expression 32\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} is in its simplest form.\newlineSince 33 and 22 are both prime numbers and there are no perfect square factors, the expression cannot be simplified further.
