The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \((3\sqrt{8} - 2\sqrt{12} + \sqrt{20}) / (3\sqrt{18} - 2\sqrt{27} + \sqrt{45})\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify the square roots in the numerator 1. **Calculate \(\sqrt{8}\)**: \[ \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = 2\sqrt{2} \] Therefore, \(3\sqrt{8} = 3 \times 2\sqrt{2} = 6\sqrt{2}\). 2. **Calculate \(\sqrt{12}\)**: \[ \sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = 2\sqrt{3} \] Therefore, \(-2\sqrt{12} = -2 \times 2\sqrt{3} = -4\sqrt{3}\). 3. **Calculate \(\sqrt{20}\)**: \[ \sqrt{20} = \sqrt{4 \times 5} = 2\sqrt{5} \] Therefore, \(\sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}\). Now, substituting these back into the numerator: \[ 3\sqrt{8} - 2\sqrt{12} + \sqrt{20} = 6\sqrt{2} - 4\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{5} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the square roots in the denominator 1. **Calculate \(\sqrt{18}\)**: \[ \sqrt{18} = \sqrt{9 \times 2} = 3\sqrt{2} \] Therefore, \(3\sqrt{18} = 3 \times 3\sqrt{2} = 9\sqrt{2}\). 2. **Calculate \(\sqrt{27}\)**: \[ \sqrt{27} = \sqrt{9 \times 3} = 3\sqrt{3} \] Therefore, \(-2\sqrt{27} = -2 \times 3\sqrt{3} = -6\sqrt{3}\). 3. **Calculate \(\sqrt{45}\)**: \[ \sqrt{45} = \sqrt{9 \times 5} = 3\sqrt{5} \] Therefore, \(\sqrt{45} = 3\sqrt{5}\). Now, substituting these back into the denominator: \[ 3\sqrt{18} - 2\sqrt{27} + \sqrt{45} = 9\sqrt{2} - 6\sqrt{3} + 3\sqrt{5} \] ### Step 3: Combine the results The expression now looks like this: \[ \frac{6\sqrt{2} - 4\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{5}}{9\sqrt{2} - 6\sqrt{3} + 3\sqrt{5}} \] ### Step 4: Factor out common terms We can factor out common terms from both the numerator and the denominator: - In the numerator, we can factor out \(2\): \[ 2(3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}) \] - In the denominator, we can factor out \(3\): \[ 3(3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}) \] ### Step 5: Simplify the fraction Now we can simplify the expression: \[ \frac{2(3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5})}{3(3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5})} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Final Answer The simplest value of the expression is: \[ \frac{2}{3} \]
