Simplify (3 square root of y)^2

${(3 \sqrt{y})}^{2}$

Step 1

Simplify the expression.

Apply the product rule to $3 \sqrt{y}$ .

$3^{2} {\sqrt{y}}^{2}$

Raise $3$ to the power of $2$ .

$9 {\sqrt{y}}^{2}$

Step 2

Rewrite ${\sqrt{y}}^{2}$ as $y$ .

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{y}$ as $y^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$9 {(y^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}$

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$9 y^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}$

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$9 y^{\frac{2}{2}}$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$9 y^{\frac{2}{2}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$9 y^{1}$

Simplify.

$9 y$
