Simplify each expression using the product rule by writing your answers in simplest radical form (no decimals). Assume that variables represent nonnegative real numbers.

6sqrt2n^5/2

This is the answer i came up with, but would i further simplify this to 6n^5/2... or not.

Rachel, can you re-write this so that it is clear what the (5/2) applies to? Is it 6*(sqrt(2n))^(5/2) or something else?

Use grouping symbols.

Yes -- put the argument for the sqrt function into parentheses, that will sort it out. If the (5/2) is the exponent for n, also put that in parentheses (after the ^ symbol).
