$\frac{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{2}}{{\sqrt{2}}^{1} \sqrt{2}} + \sqrt{24}$

Raise $\sqrt{2}$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{2}}{{\sqrt{2}}^{1} {\sqrt{2}}^{1}} + \sqrt{24}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{2}}{{\sqrt{2}}^{1 + 1}} + \sqrt{24}$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{2}}{{\sqrt{2}}^{2}} + \sqrt{24}$

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

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

$\frac{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{2}}{{(2^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}} + \sqrt{24}$

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

$\frac{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{2}}{2^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}} + \sqrt{24}$

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

$\frac{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{2}}{2^{\frac{2}{2}}} + \sqrt{24}$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{2}}{2^{\frac{2}{2}}} + \sqrt{24}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{2}}{2^{1}} + \sqrt{24}$

Evaluate the exponent.

$\frac{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{2}}{2} + \sqrt{24}$

Simplify the numerator.

Combine using the product rule for radicals.

$\frac{\sqrt{3 \cdot 2}}{2} + \sqrt{24}$

Multiply $3$ by $2$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2} + \sqrt{24}$

Rewrite $24$ as $2^{2} \cdot 6$ .

Factor $4$ out of $24$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2} + \sqrt{4 (6)}$

Rewrite $4$ as $2^{2}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2} + \sqrt{2^{2} \cdot 6}$

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2} + 2 \sqrt{6}$

Step 2

To write $2 \sqrt{6}$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2} + 2 \sqrt{6} \cdot \frac{2}{2}$

Step 3

Combine fractions.

Combine $2 \sqrt{6}$ and $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2} + \frac{2 \sqrt{6} \cdot 2}{2}$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{\sqrt{6} + 2 \sqrt{6} \cdot 2}{2}$

Step 4

Simplify the numerator.

Multiply $2$ by $2$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{6} + 4 \sqrt{6}}{2}$

Add $\sqrt{6}$ and $4 \sqrt{6}$ .

$\frac{5 \sqrt{6}}{2}$

Step 5

The result can be shown in multiple forms.
