Factor out Square Roots


The square root is the radical form of the method that are used in the calculation mathematical problems. The symbol for the square root is meant by root √. This could be in the form to describe their nature of working with the square roots. There are numerous methods are available in the rooting, they are square (second) root `sqrt(x)` , cube (Third) root `root(3)(x)` up to nth root `root(n)(x)` .  Here we are going to see about how to factor out square roots and solved example problems based on the factor out square roots.

Some Examples for Square Root Operations:

`sqrt(x) xx sqrt(y)` =`sqrt(xy)`   [By the first property]
`xsqrty` = `sqrt(x^2y)`              [By the second property]
`sqrt(x/y)` = `sqrtx/sqrty`          [By the third property]


Steps to factor out square roots:

Get the values to find the factor out square root values.
Now check for the factors in the given square root. The factor should be in the squared form for factoring the value out of the root symbol.
The squared values are factor out from the square root symbol and
Write the calculated value in the correct form.

Integers Prime Numbers


In math, the whole numbers are called as integers. Likewise, the prime numbers are always integers that are whole numbers. It does not contain any sign in front of the number. It is also called as natural numbers. Now we are going to see about prime numbers are integers.
Explanation for Integers Prime Numbers

Some notes about prime numbers in math:

A number which has only two distinct divisors is called as prime numbers that is indicated as integers. The property primality is included in prime numbers. In two distinct divisors, 1 is constant divisor of all prime numbers. The prime number’s factor series is n = p1, p2,……pt.

Determine the prime numbers in math:

Step 1: The multiple factors of number are listed.

Step 2: State the given number is prime number when it has two divisors. If there are more than two divisors, we can call that number is composite number.

If we take the number as greater than 100 means, how we find whether that number is prime or not. Do the following procedures.

Procedure 1: Find out the square root of number.

Procedure 2: List the prime numbers of rounded value.

Procedure 3: Find out whether the listed prime numbers are divide the rounded value or not.

Procedure 4: If the listed prime numbers are not divide the given number means that is called as prime number.

Answer:

Given integer are 134.

Square root value of 134 is 11.57.

The square root value is rounded as 12.

List the below 12 prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.

Metric Conversion Equations

Let us see about metric conversion equations. The conversion is mainly done between the measurements. Generally, there are two types of measurements like standard measurement and metric measurements. There are more measurements in metric. The metric measurements used to measure the area, distance, energy, force, mass, power, pressure, velocity or speed, volume or capacity and volume of liquid.

Conversion Equations of Metric:

The metric conversion equations are following below. The equations are forming by the table format. The basic metric units are meter, gram and liter. Some prefixes are,

1000  = kilo.

100 = Hecto.

10 = deca.

0.1= deci.

0.01 = centi.

0.001 = milli.

Conversion of length:

The metric conversion of length equation is following below.

 Length conversion
1 kilometer 0.62137 miles
1 meter 3.2808 feet
1 centimeter 0.3937 inch
1 mile 1.6093 kilometer

1 square mile 640 acres 258.9988 hectares

1 square foot 144 square inches 929.0304 sq centimeters







These are the conversion equation for the standard to metric.

Examples of Conversion Equations:

Let us see some examples of metric conversions.

Example 1:

Convert the 2 millimeter scale into inches.

Solution:

1 millimeter = 0.03937 inches.

So, 2 millimeter = 2 * 0.03937.

= 0.07874.

Example 2:

Convert the 2 inch thread into centimeter.

Solution:

1 inch = 2.54 centimeter.

2 inch =  2.54 * 2.

= 5.08 centimeter.

Example 3:

Convert the 2 square foot into square inches.

Solution:

1 square foot = 144 square inches.

2 square foot = 144 * 2.

= 288 square inches.

Exponents

Introduction to exponents:

           The exponent is usually shown as a superscript to the right of the base. The exponentiation an can be read as: a raised to the n-th power, a raised to the power [of] n, or possibly a raised to the exponent [of] n, or more briefly as a to the n. Some exponents have their own pronunciation: for example, a2 is usually read as a squared and a3 as a cubed.
(Source – Wikipedia.)

Properties of Exponents:

           The following four properties are generally used in exponents. These properties are very helpful to crack problems in exponents.
  • The first and foremost significant uniqueness fulfilled by integer exponentiation is
           px+y= px . py
  • This distinctiveness has the result
           px-y = px /py
  • for p ≠ 0, and
           (px)y=px.y
  • Another basic identity is (p. q)n = pn . qn

Scientific Notation Multiplication

Introduction to scientific notation multiplication:
                     In scientific notation multiplication, a number is said to be written in Scientific notation if  it is expressed as m×104 where b is a terminating decimal such that 1< m < 10, and n is an integer. Scientific notation multiplication is used to convey very large numbers. A number in scientific notation multiplication is printed as the product of a number either it is integer or decimal or it is a power of 10. The numbers have one digit to the left of the decimal point. The decimal of power that ten indicates how many places the decimal point was moved.

Examples for Scientific Notation Multiplication:

Scientific notation:

      To achieve the exponent scientific notation calculate the number of places from the decimal to the end of the number.
       The term 9, 99, 00,000,000,000 there are 11 places.
       Hence can we write the term 9, 99, 00,000,000,000 as?
                            999×1011
   Example:   77700000  
1)      777×105
Scientific notation multiplication: 
Make a note of (a^m.a^n) as of the note the example problem have similar base.
    Example 1: (7 x 102) * (5 x 103)
                           = 35 x 105
            Move the decimal point over to the right until the coefficient lies between 1 and 10. For each place shift the decimal in excess of the exponent will be lowered 1 power of ten.
               35x10 5= 3.5 x 106in scientific notation multiplication.
     Example 2: (4x 102) * (2 x 102)
                            =8 x 102 x102
                             =0.8 x105        
         Move the decimal point over to the right until the coefficient lies between 1 and 10. For each place shift the decimal in excess of the exponent will be lowered 1 power of ten.
     Example 3:
         Write the following in the scientific notation 56.
     Solution:
       We can write 56 in scientific notation as follows,
       0.56 x 102 , 5.6 x 101 , 56 x 100 etc..
 

Practice Problem for Scientific Notation Multiplication:

Problem 1: (8x 106) `xx` (2 x 103)
                            = 16 x 109
Problem 2: (2 x 10 8)`xx` (7 x 103)
                           = 0.14 x 1013
 Problem 3: (64x 106)`xx` (8 x 103)
                           = 512 x 109
 Problem 4: (16x 106) `xx` (8 x 103)
                           =128x109
Problem 5: (1x 106) `xx` (7 x 103)
                            =0.7x1010

Square Root Property Calculator

Introduction for square root property calculator:       
     When calculating square root of any real numbers, we can use a square root property calculator to support your answer. The square root representation in mathematically shown by   √. The square root property calculator is used to calculate the real value that the square root is calculated from inside of the square root symbol. The radicand is a real number; it is inside the square root symbol. The square root property calculator used to manipulate the square root value of the form is `sqrt(x)` where x is radicand that any real numbers.

Square Root Properties:
1.   Product Property of Square Roots:
          Let us take any real numbers a and b, where a ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0, the square root of the product a and b is same as the product of each square root.
       `sqrt((a).(b))` = `sqrt(a)` .`sqrt(b)`   For  example   `sqrt((5)(7)(4))` = `sqrt(5)` .`sqrt(7)` .`sqrt(4)`

2.    Quotient Property of Square Roots:
        We consider any  real numbers a and b, where a ≥ 0 and b > 0, and then the square root of the quotient  `a / b` is equal to the quotient of each square root.
           `sqrt((a)/(b))`   = `sqrt(a)`  `-:` `sqrt(b)`
