Step-by-step solution

To solve the problem 1030100\frac{\sqrt{10} \cdot \sqrt{30}}{\sqrt{100}}, we'll use the rules of square roots, specifically the multiplication and division properties.

Start by simplifying the numerator using the multiplication property of square roots:

  • 1030=10×30=300\sqrt{10} \cdot \sqrt{30} = \sqrt{10 \times 30} = \sqrt{300}

Next, we simplify the entire fraction using the division property of square roots:

  • 300100=300100=3\frac{\sqrt{300}}{\sqrt{100}} = \sqrt{\frac{300}{100}} = \sqrt{3}

Thus, the simplified form of the expression 1030100\frac{\sqrt{10} \cdot \sqrt{30}}{\sqrt{100}} is 3\sqrt{3}.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 3 \sqrt{3} .

Final Answer

3 \sqrt{3}

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Multiplication Rule: ab=a×b \sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \times b} for positive values
  • Technique: Combine radicals first: 1030=300 \sqrt{10} \cdot \sqrt{30} = \sqrt{300}
  • Check: Verify 33=3 \sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{3} = 3 and 100=10 \sqrt{100} = 10

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Simplifying radicals before applying properties
    Don't break down 10 \sqrt{10} and 30 \sqrt{30} separately first = makes problem unnecessarily complex! This creates extra steps and increases chance for errors. Always use the multiplication property first: 1030=300 \sqrt{10} \cdot \sqrt{30} = \sqrt{300} , then simplify.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

Why can I multiply the numbers inside the square roots?

+

The multiplication property of radicals states that ab=a×b \sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \times b} when both numbers are positive. This lets you combine radicals into a single expression!

How do I know when to use the division property?

+

Use the division property ab=ab \frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}} = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} when you have radicals in both numerator and denominator. It simplifies the fraction into one radical expression.

What if I get a perfect square under the radical?

+

Perfect squares simplify completely! For example, 100=10 \sqrt{100} = 10 because 102=100 10^2 = 100 . Always check if your final radical can be simplified further.

Should I always combine radicals first?

+

Yes! When multiplying or dividing radicals, combine them first using the properties. This usually makes the problem easier to solve than working with multiple separate radicals.

How can I check if my answer is correct?

+

Square your final answer and see if it matches the simplified fraction. Here: (3)2=3 (\sqrt{3})^2 = 3 and 300100=3 \frac{300}{100} = 3
