| ① | $$ 2 \sqrt{18} =
2 \sqrt{ 3 ^2 \cdot 2 } =
2 \sqrt{ 3 ^2 } \, \sqrt{ 2 } =
2 \cdot 3 \sqrt{ 2 } =
6 \sqrt{ 2 } $$ |
| ② | $$ \sqrt{72} =
\sqrt{ 6 ^2 \cdot 2 } =
\sqrt{ 6 ^2 } \, \sqrt{ 2 } =
6 \sqrt{ 2 }$$ |
| ③ | $$ - \sqrt{75} =
- \sqrt{ 5 ^2 \cdot 3 } =
- \sqrt{ 5 ^2 } \, \sqrt{ 3 } =
- 5 \sqrt{ 3 }$$ |
