Q. Compute the multiplication and reduce to the simplest expression.\newline32×2\sqrt{32} \times \sqrt{2}
  1. Factorization of 32\sqrt{32} and 2\sqrt{2}: Find the prime factorization of 32\sqrt{32} and 2\sqrt{2}. The prime factorization of 3232 is 252^5, and the prime factorization of 22 is just 22. So, 32×2\sqrt{32} \times \sqrt{2} can be expressed as 25×2\sqrt{2^5} \times \sqrt{2}.
  2. Combine square roots: Apply the multiplication property of square roots to combine them. So, 25×2=25×2\sqrt{2^5} \times \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2^5 \times 2}.
  3. Combine exponents: Combine the exponents of 22 inside the square root. So, 25×2=26\sqrt{2^5 \times 2} = \sqrt{2^6}.
  4. Simplify square root: Simplify 26\sqrt{2^6} by taking the square root of 262^6. Since 262^6 is a perfect square (23)2(2^3)^2, 26=23\sqrt{2^6} = 2^3.
  5. Calculate final answer: Calculate 232^3 to get the final answer. So, 23=82^3 = 8.
