Answer

a. $8$ b. $11$ c. $6$

Work Step by Step

a. Rewrite as a radical: $\sqrt {64}$ Take the square root: $=8$ b. When two exponential expressions with the same base are multiplied together, add the exponents together, keeping the base as-is: $11^{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}}$ $=11^{\frac{2}{2}}$ $=11^{1}$ $=11$ c. Rewrite as radicals: $\sqrt {3} \cdot \sqrt {12}$ Multiply the two radicands since the indexes are the same: =$\sqrt {3 \cdot 12}$ Multiply to simplify: $=\sqrt {36}$ Take the square root: $=6$
