20xsqrt(x)20xx

Explanation:

As an example of concept consider
sqrt(2)xxsqrt(2) = sqrt(2xx2)=sqrt(2^2)=22×2=2×2=22=2

'...........................................................................................

Now apply this concept to the question.

sqrt(20x^2)xxsqrt(20x) = sqrt(20^2xx x^2xx x) = 20xsqrt(x)20x2×20x=202×x2×x=20xx

If you are ever not sure how something behaves then try it with simple values to see what happens. Then apply your understanding of the process.

20 x^((3) / (2))20x32

Explanation:

We have: sqrt(20 x^(2)) cdot sqrt(20 x)20x220x

= sqrt(20) cdot sqrt(x^(2)) cdot sqrt(20) cdot sqrt(x)=20x220x

= 20 cdot x cdot sqrt(x)=20xx

= 20 cdot x^(1+(1) / (2))=20x1+12

= 20 cdot x^((3) / (2))=20x32

= 20 x^((3) / (2))=20x32
