| ① | $$ 2 \sqrt{75} =
2 \sqrt{ 5 ^2 \cdot 3 } =
2 \sqrt{ 5 ^2 } \, \sqrt{ 3 } =
2 \cdot 5 \sqrt{ 3 } =
10 \sqrt{ 3 } $$ |
| ② | $$ - \sqrt{12} =
- \sqrt{ 2 ^2 \cdot 3 } =
- \sqrt{ 2 ^2 } \, \sqrt{ 3 } =
- 2 \sqrt{ 3 }$$ |
| ③ | $$ - \sqrt{108} =
- \sqrt{ 6 ^2 \cdot 3 } =
- \sqrt{ 6 ^2 } \, \sqrt{ 3 } =
- 6 \sqrt{ 3 }$$ |
