Answer: -8 square root of 3 (choice a)

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find 2 numbers that multiply to 48 and in the same time, 1 of these numbers is a perfect square. In this case, the numbers are 16 and 3. So -2√16*3

Then since 16 is. A perfect square, and the square root is 4, you take out the 4 and multiply it by -2 so that is -8 and now you are left with -8√3. Hopefully that helped.

ANSWER

[tex] - 8 \sqrt{3} [/tex]

EXPLANATION

We want to simplify:

[tex] - 2 \sqrt{48} [/tex]

Remove the perfect square under the radical sign.

[tex] - 2 \sqrt{16 \times 3} [/tex]

Split the radical sign for the factors under it.

[tex] - 2 \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{3} [/tex]

Simplify:

[tex] - 2 \times 4\times \sqrt{3} [/tex]

This finally gives us:

[tex] - 8 \sqrt{3} [/tex]

The first choice is correct.
