Simplify Root Expression 08B377
1. The problem is to simplify the expression $\frac{\sqrt{12} \cdot \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{24}}$ and compare it to the given options.
2. Recall the property of square roots: $\sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \cdot b}$.
3. Apply this property to the numerator:
$$\sqrt{12} \cdot \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{12 \times 2} = \sqrt{24}$$
4. Substitute back into the expression:
$$\frac{\sqrt{24}}{\sqrt{24}}$$
5. Since any nonzero number divided by itself is 1, we have:
$$1$$
6. Therefore, the simplified value of the expression is 1.
7. Now, check the options:
- $\sqrt{24}$ is not equal to 1.
- $4\sqrt{6}$ is not equal to 1.
- $6\sqrt{6}$ is not equal to 1.
- $2\sqrt{6}$ is not equal to 1.
None of the options equal 1, so none of the buttons represent the simplified expression exactly.
Final answer: The expression simplifies to 1, which is not listed among the options.
