Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, factor 252 into prime factors: $252 = 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 7$. Then, factor $y^2$ as itself since it's already a square. The square root of $2^2 \times 3^2$ is $2 \times 3 = 6$, and the square root of $y^2$ is $y$, leaving $\sqrt{7}$ inside the radical. So, the simplified form is $6y\sqrt{7}$.
