Which expression is equivalent to 7x , if b > 0?

Work Shown:
[tex]7x^2*\sqrt{2x^4}*6\sqrt{2x^{12}}\\\\7*6x^2*\sqrt{2x^4*2x^{12}}\\\\42x^2*\sqrt{4x^{4+12}}\\\\42x^2*\sqrt{4x^{16}}\\\\42x^2*\sqrt{(2x^8)^2}\\\\42x^2*(2x^8)\\\\42*2x^{2+8}\\\\84x^{10}\\\\[/tex]
So that's why the answer is choice C
The requirement that x is nonzero isn't technically necessary. The original expression simplifies to choice C even when x = 0 is the case. Also, we don't have issues such as division by zero errors that could arise. It's a bit curious why your teacher put in that condition.
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
7x²×sqrt(2x⁴)×6×sqrt(2x¹²)
we see right away that as constant multiplication factor we have 7×6 = 42.
and then we get from each sqrt expression a sqrt(2), which leads to sqrt²(2) = 2 and therefore 42×2=84.
the only answer option with 84 is C.
now, to be completely sure, and to get some practice, let's look at the other parts :
sqrt(2x⁴) = sqrt(2)×sqrt(x⁴) = sqrt(2)×x²
sqrt(2x¹²) = sqrt(2)×sqrt(x¹²) = sqrt(2)×x⁶
=>
7x²×sqrt(2)×x²×6×sqrt(2)×x⁶ =7×6×2×x²×x²×x⁶ = 84x¹⁰
perfect. C is confirmed.
