Answer the questions below. When you are finished, submit this test to your teacher for full credit.

Total score: ____ of 15 points

(Score for Question 1: ___ of 5 points)

1. Simplify the expression . Show your work.

Answer: We first must simplify the numerator. It seems we can take the square root of x squared and four:

Therefore, getting 2 x
1
√3 y
. Because
1
3y √
⋅ √ 4 x =2 x
2 1 . Now simplifying the expression further
√3 y
multiply by 1 in a clever way, using the square root of 3y divided by the by the square root of 3y getting:
2 x √ 3 y 2 x √3 y
× = . Or you could also leave it as 2x/(3y)^1/2.
√3 y √ 3 y 3y

2. Simplify the expression . Show your work.

Answer: ( 3−4 i ) ( 1+ 5i ) , 3×1 , then−4 i×5 i ,−4 i×1 plus 3×5i , we get :3−20i 2 +11i . Simplifying further,
the i squared becomes negative 1 thus getting, (3+20+11i)-(2-i).
Simplifying further we must distribute the negative getting 23+ 11i−2+i . Finally , 23−2=21∧11 i+i=12i . Putting this
Therefore, our answer is (21+12i)

3. Simplify the expression . Show your work.

Answer:we have (27 x 6 y 4 )1 /3 . Therefore, let’s take the cube root of each x,y and its coefficient, but first, let’s
simplify y so we can continue further. y time y^3 in the radicand. Thus getting (27x^6y^3) ^1/3 times (y)^1/3. No
simplify the left-hand side getting 3x^2y multiplied by (y)^1/3. We got 3x^2times y because the cube root of 27 is 3
and the cube root of x to the power of 6 is x^2 due to 1/3 times 6, 6/3=2, and then cube root of 3 is easy to see
that is y. Therefore, our answer is, 3 x ⋅ y √ y
2 3
.
