| ① | $$ \sqrt{75} =
\sqrt{ 5 ^2 \cdot 3 } =
\sqrt{ 5 ^2 } \, \sqrt{ 3 } =
5 \sqrt{ 3 }$$ |
| ② | $$ - \sqrt{12} =
- \sqrt{ 2 ^2 \cdot 3 } =
- \sqrt{ 2 ^2 } \, \sqrt{ 3 } =
- 2 \sqrt{ 3 }$$ |
| ③ | $$ - 2 \sqrt{48} =
-2 \sqrt{ 4 ^2 \cdot 3 } =
-2 \sqrt{ 4 ^2 } \, \sqrt{ 3 } =
-2 \cdot 4 \sqrt{ 3 } =
-8 \sqrt{ 3 } $$ |
