Algebra radical problem Need Help?
Assume that the expression under the radical represents a non-negative real number. The expression is (x squared + 20x + 100) under the radical. If you could just simply explain the steps for solving this problem, I will be forever grateful to you. Thanks in advance.

There is no much steps, the idea is to simplify the expression.
For this expression (X^2+20X+100) will be simplified (X+10)^2
So (X+10)^2 under radical result in (X+10)
That is all
SQRT(x^2 + 20x + 100) = SQRT[(x + 10)^2] = x + 10
sqrt(x^2+20x+100) = sqrt(x+10)sqrt(x+10) = x+10
Hi,
Factor the expression inside the radical.
. _____________
âx² + 20x + 100 =
. ________
â(x + 10)². = x + 10 <==ANSWER
I hope that helps!! :-)
