Simplify ( square root of 2+x)^2

Problem

(√(,2+x))2

Solution

1. Identify the relationship between the square root and the exponent. The square root of a value a denoted as √(,a) is the same as raising that value to the power of 1/2

2. Apply the power of a power rule, which states that (am)n=a(m⋅n)

3. Multiply the exponents 1/2 and 2

(√(,2+x))2=(2+x)(1/2⋅2)

4. Simplify the resulting exponent to 1

(2+x)1=2+x

Final Answer

(√(,2+x))2=2+x
