Transcript text: Simplify using the quotient rule for square roots. Assume that $x>0$.
\[
\frac{\sqrt{375 x^{6}}}{\sqrt{5 x}}
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To simplify the given expression using the quotient rule for square roots, we can combine the square roots into a single square root and then simplify the expression inside the square root. The quotient rule for square roots states that \(\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}} = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}\).
Solution Approach
Combine the square roots into a single square root: \(\frac{\sqrt{375 x^6}}{\sqrt{5 x}} = \sqrt{\frac{375 x^6}{5 x}}\).
Simplify the expression inside the square root: \(\frac{375 x^6}{5 x} = 75 x^5\).
Take the square root of the simplified expression: \(\sqrt{75 x^5}\).
Step 1: Combine the Square Roots
Using the quotient rule for square roots, we combine the square roots into a single square root:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{375 x^6}}{\sqrt{5 x}} = \sqrt{\frac{375 x^6}{5 x}}
\]
Step 2: Simplify the Expression Inside the Square Root
Simplify the expression inside the square root:
\[
\frac{375 x^6}{5 x} = 75 x^5
\]
Step 3: Take the Square Root of the Simplified Expression
Take the square root of the simplified expression:
\[
\sqrt{75 x^5}
\]
