Hey!
First, we have to break 32 into its primes.
[tex]32=2^5[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{2^5}[/tex]
Since we don't want an odd number, we can split it into two.
[tex]=\sqrt{2^4\cdot \:2}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{2}\sqrt{2^4}[/tex]
Since we want to remove one of the square roots, we have to do something like this: [tex]\sqrt{2^4}=2^{\frac{4}{2}}=2^2[/tex]
We would be left with,
[tex]=2^2\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Simplify the exponent.
[tex]=4\sqrt{2}[/tex]
This tells us that the square root of 32 can be simplified.
Thanks!
