Solve sqrt{27}+sqrt{1/3}-sqrt{12}

$$\sqrt { 27 } + \sqrt { \frac { 1 } { 3 } } - \sqrt { 12 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{3}\approx 2.309401077$$

Solution Steps

Factor 27=3^{2}\times 3. Rewrite the square root of the product \sqrt{3^{2}\times 3} as the product of square roots \sqrt{3^{2}}\sqrt{3}. Take the square root of 3^{2}.

$$3\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}-\sqrt{12}$$

Rewrite the square root of the division \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} as the division of square roots \frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{3}}.

$$3\sqrt{3}+\frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{3}}-\sqrt{12}$$

Calculate the square root of 1 and get 1.

$$3\sqrt{3}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}-\sqrt{12}$$

Rationalize the denominator of \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} by multiplying numerator and denominator by \sqrt{3}.

$$3\sqrt{3}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\left(\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}}-\sqrt{12}$$

The square of \sqrt{3} is 3.

$$3\sqrt{3}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}-\sqrt{12}$$

Combine 3\sqrt{3} and \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} to get \frac{10}{3}\sqrt{3}.

$$\frac{10}{3}\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{12}$$

Factor 12=2^{2}\times 3. Rewrite the square root of the product \sqrt{2^{2}\times 3} as the product of square roots \sqrt{2^{2}}\sqrt{3}. Take the square root of 2^{2}.

$$\frac{10}{3}\sqrt{3}-2\sqrt{3}$$

Combine \frac{10}{3}\sqrt{3} and -2\sqrt{3} to get \frac{4}{3}\sqrt{3}.

$$\frac{4}{3}\sqrt{3}$$
