Question
Simplify the following:
`3sqrt(3) + 2sqrt(27) + 7/sqrt(3)`
Advertisements
Solution
`3sqrt(3) + 2sqrt(27) + 7/sqrt(3) = 3sqrt(3) + 2sqrt(3 xx 3 xx 3) + 7/sqrt(3) xx sqrt(3)/sqrt(3)`
= `3sqrt(3) + 6sqrt(3) + (7sqrt(3))/3`
= `9sqrt(3) + (7sqrt(3))/3`
= `(27sqrt(3) + 7sqrt(3))/3`
= `(34sqrt(3))/3`
