Chapter 8.1, Problem 5CE

To determine

To Simplify: Simplify the given expression

Answer to Problem 5CE

The simplified form is $\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The given expression is $\sqrt{50}$

We have the given expression is $\sqrt{50}$

It can be further written as

  $\begin{array}{c}\sqrt{50}=\sqrt{5^2\times 2}\\ =5\sqrt{2}\end{array}$

Since square root is positive quantity so we neglect negative sign.

Therefore, the simplified form is $\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}$
