Find the simplified product [tex]\sqrt{2 x^3} \cdot \sqrt{18 x^3}[/tex]:

A. [tex]\sqrt{6 x^4}[/tex]

B. [tex]\sqrt{36 x^8}[/tex]

C. [tex]18 x^4[/tex]

D. [tex]6 x^4[/tex]



Answer :

To find the simplified product of the expressions [tex]\(\sqrt{2 x^3}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\sqrt{18 x^3}\)[/tex], we can follow these steps:

1. Rewrite the expressions under a single radical:

[tex]\[ \sqrt{2 x^3} \cdot \sqrt{18 x^3} = \sqrt{(2 x^3) \cdot (18 x^3)} \][/tex]

2. Combine the terms inside the radical:

[tex]\[ (2 x^3) \cdot (18 x^3) = 2 \cdot 18 \cdot x^3 \cdot x^3 = 36 \cdot x^6 \][/tex]

3. Simplify the combined expression:

[tex]\[ \sqrt{36 x^6} \][/tex]

4. Separate the constant and variable parts inside the radical:

[tex]\[ \sqrt{36 x^6} = \sqrt{36} \cdot \sqrt{x^6} \][/tex]

5. Simplify each part individually:

- The square root of 36 is 6:
[tex]\[ \sqrt{36} = 6 \][/tex]

- The square root of [tex]\(x^6\)[/tex] can be written as:
[tex]\[ \sqrt{x^6} = \sqrt{(x^3)^2} = x^3 \][/tex]

6. Combine the simplified parts:

[tex]\[ \sqrt{36 x^6} = 6 \cdot x^3 \][/tex]

Therefore, the simplified product is [tex]\(6 x^3\)[/tex]. There seems to be a slight confusion in the number options provided. Given the options, it looks like there is a mistake in options listed. The correct answer, as we simplified, is [tex]\(6 x^3\)[/tex].

However, since an assumption about the format of one of the choices matching our answer did not match, it is essential to check provided options as such or report rectification needed:

- [tex]\(\sqrt{6 x^4}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\sqrt{36 x^8}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(18 x^4\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(6 x^4\)[/tex]

None correctly represents the simplified form as we calculated [tex]\(6x^3\)[/tex].
