Chapter 8.1, Problem 1WE

To determine

The given expression.

Answer to Problem 1WE

The simplified form is $\sqrt{12}=2\sqrt{3}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given expression is $\sqrt{12}$ .

The given expression is $\sqrt{12}$

It can be further written as

  $\begin{array}{c}\sqrt{12}=\sqrt{3\times 2^2}\\ =2\sqrt{3}\end{array}$

Since square root is positive quantity so neglecting negative sign.

Therefore, the simplified form is $\sqrt{12}=2\sqrt{3}$ .
