Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to reduce the radical. In order to do that, we want to find the factors of 96 that are square numbers
The factors of 96 are:
[tex]1, 96, 2, 48, 3, 32, 4, 24, 6, 16...[/tex]
16 is a square number, so we can rewrite
[tex]\sqrt{96} = \sqrt{16*6} = \sqrt{16} * \sqrt{6} = 4\sqrt{6}[/tex]
