| ① | $$ - 3 \sqrt{27} =
-3 \sqrt{ 3 ^2 \cdot 3 } =
-3 \sqrt{ 3 ^2 } \, \sqrt{ 3 } =
-3 \cdot 3 \sqrt{ 3 } =
-9 \sqrt{ 3 } $$ |
| ② | $$ - \sqrt{12} =
- \sqrt{ 2 ^2 \cdot 3 } =
- \sqrt{ 2 ^2 } \, \sqrt{ 3 } =
- 2 \sqrt{ 3 }$$ |
| ③ | $$ - 3 \sqrt{27} =
-3 \sqrt{ 3 ^2 \cdot 3 } =
-3 \sqrt{ 3 ^2 } \, \sqrt{ 3 } =
-3 \cdot 3 \sqrt{ 3 } =
-9 \sqrt{ 3 } $$ |
