First I factor what is within the square root. You could say it's √(25*5) and then factor again, I went instead to √(5*5*5) From there you can separate the two pieces in their own square root …
Simple Factoring, Quadratic Polynomial, Algebra
Factoring a simple quadratic polynomial. (assuming you can factor it) First start with two sets of parentheses. Then I look at the first term then the third term and finally the second term. …

Synthetic Division of Polynomials
We started by looking at long division and synthetic division of polynomials. Long division was familiar, synthetic division was new. Synthetic division can be faster and less written work, but is …
Fractional Exponents, Logarithms, Quartic and Cubic Equations
We started by looking at some current homework which involved factoring. For most of the problems they started with a quartic or cubic equation and then factored into a quadratic and one or two other …

“What is the square root of 96 in radical form?”
Like Terry Moore said, it actually is pretty easy to work with in the original form, √96. Sometimes it is better to 'simplify' by getting a coefficient multiplied by a smaller number within the …

What is the square root of 5,000,000?
Saw this question which was asked at a job interview for an engineer on Quora, My response: It's often useful to be able to make approximations quickly. If you make a somewhat accurate fast …
