Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 14 \sqrt{5}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to combine the radicals. We have the following expression:
[tex]8 \sqrt{5} + 2 \sqrt{45}[/tex]
Currently, we cannot combine these radicals. The value under the square root is not the same for both terms.
However, we can simplify the radical 2 √45 because the value under the radical is divisible by a perfect square.
45 can be divided by 9 (the perfect square) for a quotient of 5. So, we can simplify the radical using this information.
Break the radical into 2 radicals: 9 and 5.
[tex]8 \sqrt{5}+ 2 \sqrt{9}\sqrt{5}[/tex]
Notice that a perfect square is under the radical. √9 can be simplifed to 3.
[tex]8 \sqrt{5}+ 2 *3 \sqrt{5}[/tex]
Multiply 2 and 3.
[tex]8 \sqrt{3} + 6 \sqrt{5}[/tex]
Now the value under the radical is the same for both terms, and we can add the numbers in front of the radicals.
[tex]14 \sqrt{5}[/tex]
The radicals combined is equal to 14√5
