Q. Communicate:\#20 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.32n12n
Factor and Simplify: First, let's factor the numbers under the radicals to see if they can be simplified.12n=4×3×n=4×3n32n=16×2×n=16×2n
Simplify Perfect Squares: Now, simplify the square roots of the perfect squares. 4=2 and 16=4 So, 32n12n becomes 4⋅2n2⋅3n
Simplify Fraction: Next, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.(2×3n)/(4×2n)=(3n)/(2×2n)
Divide Radicands: Now, let's simplify the radical expression further by dividing the radicands (the numbers under the radicals). 2n3n=2n3n
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression under the radical. 2n3n=23
Check for Simplification: Finally, we check if the expression 23 is in its simplest form.Since 3 and 2 are both prime numbers and there are no perfect square factors, the expression cannot be simplified further.
