Response

Let's solve these radical simplification problems one by one. We'll start with the square roots (problems 9 - 12) and then the cube roots (problems 13 - 16).

Problem 9: Simplify \(\sqrt{8x^7y}\)

Step 1: Factor the radicand into perfect squares and remaining factors

We know that \(8 = 4\times2\), \(x^7 = x^6\times x\), and \(y\) is just \(y\). So we can rewrite the radicand as:
\(8x^7y = 4\times2\times x^6\times x\times y\)

Step 2: Take the square root of the perfect squares

\(\sqrt{4\times2\times x^6\times x\times y}=\sqrt{4}\times\sqrt{x^6}\times\sqrt{2xy}\)
Since \(\sqrt{4} = 2\) and \(\sqrt{x^6}=x^3\) (because \((x^3)^2 = x^6\)), we get:
\(2\times x^3\times\sqrt{2xy}=2x^3\sqrt{2xy}\)

Step 1: Factor the radicand into perfect squares and remaining factors

\(54 = 9\times6\), \(x^3 = x^2\times x\), and \(y^8=(y^4)^2\). So:
\(54x^3y^8 = 9\times6\times x^2\times x\times(y^4)^2\)

Step 2: Take the square root of the perfect squares

\(\sqrt{9\times6\times x^2\times x\times(y^4)^2}=\sqrt{9}\times\sqrt{x^2}\times\sqrt{(y^4)^2}\times\sqrt{6x}\)
We know that \(\sqrt{9} = 3\), \(\sqrt{x^2}=x\), and \(\sqrt{(y^4)^2}=y^4\). So:
\(3\times x\times y^4\times\sqrt{6x}=3xy^4\sqrt{6x}\)

Step 1: Factor the radicand into perfect squares and remaining factors

\(90 = 9\times10\), \(x^{10}=(x^5)^2\), and \(y^{20}=(y^{10})^2\). So:
\(90x^{10}y^{20}=9\times10\times(x^5)^2\times(y^{10})^2\)

Step 2: Take the square root of the perfect squares

\(\sqrt{9\times10\times(x^5)^2\times(y^{10})^2}=\sqrt{9}\times\sqrt{(x^5)^2}\times\sqrt{(y^{10})^2}\times\sqrt{10}\)
Since \(\sqrt{9} = 3\), \(\sqrt{(x^5)^2}=x^5\), and \(\sqrt{(y^{10})^2}=y^{10}\), we get:
\(3\times x^5\times y^{10}\times\sqrt{10}=3x^5y^{10}\sqrt{10}\)

Answer:

\(2x^3\sqrt{2xy}\)
