Quick maths question as I'm just unsure and I better nail it early

[dbgtz]

If I have something like (2rt6)(rt2 + 6), when multiplying out would I do 2*rt2 or 2rt6*rt2?

Well you wouldn't need to change anything inside the bracket unless you have the values for r and t

so you'd just times the brackets together

rt is meant to be square root sorry xD Probably should have made that clear

Use ^ ;)

(2rt^6)(rt^2 + 6)

does ^ not mean to the power of? I meant 2√ 6 :P Just thought I'd go for the symbol. But this still answers my question so thanks

LMAO Again, i apoligise

I read "square" and simply assumed without reading the root

this is why you should use the correct annotation!

but yeah, use that website

that one

By the way if you want to use words sqrt is much more universally accepted or even ^1/2 for square root or ^1/3 for cube root
