$\huge6^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }} \times 2^{2} \times 3 ^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }}$

make same base

3. TeemoTheTerific Group Title

umm i dont know how

@TeemoTheTerific What are the instructions for this problem? Is the answer to be left in exponential or radical form?

7. TeemoTheTerific Group Title

left in surd form

8. TeemoTheTerific Group Title

well answer should be left in a surd form

Can you pick it up from here by remembering that to multiply exponential expressions with the same base, you add their exponents.

12. TeemoTheTerific Group Title

$3 \times 2 ^{\dfrac{ 5 }{ 2 }}$

13. Directrix Group Title

|dw:1359525370984:dw| Okay.

14. TeemoTheTerific Group Title

ahh i got it now thanks

or, $\sqrt{6}\times4\times \sqrt{3}=4\sqrt{18}=4\sqrt{9\times2}=12\sqrt{2}$

16. paul2d Group Title

I find it easier to switch the rational exponents to radicals

@paul2d I tend to agree but as you study more mathematics, you will encounter situations in which only exonential form will suffice or be allowed.
