Also: Nice thread title. Very descriptive.

^^dont think thats ognna work?



7√32=14√8=28√2



Also...at Gnac...that link is horrible. That doesn't help at all. Here is how it works in detail. √8=√(4x2)=√4 x √2. Now √4=2...therefore √8=2√2. Same as √32=√(4x8)=√(4x4x2)=√4 x √4 x √2=2x2x√2=4√2. So...7√32 = 7 x 4√2 = 28√2

Does that mean the seventh root of 32, or 7 multiplying the square root of 32? If the former, it's irreductible, if the latter, it's            
7 x 4 x √2, thus 28 x√2, what D_Boy said

Pretty sure it is the latter. I have never seen a question asking the 7th root of a number...when I was at school I mean.



7 (square root 16)(square root 2) = 7*4*(sqrt2) = 28 sqrt2

Well, yeah, it would make no sense, since 7 is prime, but I just wanted to make sure
