So like here's the i compleatly forgot how to do this and i don't know (probably because i'm and the notes i took make no all i know is what ever my teacher did, it was something a bit more i think, sorry for being ( enter choice of word. e. x. stupid, dumb, ect.)

question: √144 how do i rewrite the radical while extracting all the perfect sqares.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number itself is a perfect square, so it's going to be hard to do.  What I'm trying to say is that there won't be anything left over underneath the square root sign.

Perfect squares.

144: 4 * 36

√144 = √(4 * 36)

√144 - √4*√36

√144 = 2 * 6 = 12.

In my opinion, the better way to do it is to factor the number down to it's primes. This works much better with larger numbers.

Suppose you want √480

480: 2 * 240

480: 2 * 2 * 120

480: 2 * 2 * 2 * 60

480: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 30

480: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 15

480: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5

How do you know when to quit? There are 2 rules.

So now we have

√480 = √(2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5)

Here's your last rule: for every pair of like factors you take out one from underneath the root and throw the other one away.

√480 = 2 * 2√ 2 * 3 * 5

√480 = 4√30

in the opening of the question the word 'service' is associated only with the pretax value.

the closing part of the question asks: how much did she pay for the

so technically the answer is

however, the intention of the question provider may have been that your answer is to be
