Is the simplified form of 2square root of 3 • square root of 12 rational?. Yes. No
The product asked above may be given expressed by the expression,
(2) x (sqrt 3) times (sqrt 12)
Two is also equivalent to sqrt of 4. The operation may be expressed as,
(sqrt 4) x (sqrt 3) x sqrt (12)
The product is sqrt (144). This gives an answer of 12 and it is rational.
Answer:
Yes, the simplified form of the given radical expression is rational.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to determine whether the simplified form of \(2\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{12}\) is rational or not.
To solve our given problem we will use exponent property for radicals \(a\sqrt{m}\cdot\sqrt{n}=a\sqrt{m\cdot n}\).
\(2\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{12}=2\sqrt{3\cdot 12}\)
\(2\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{12}=2\sqrt{36}\)
\(2\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{12}=2*6\)
\(2\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{12}=12\)
Since our given radical expression simplifies to a rational, therefore, our answer is yes.
