Ashley, The square root of a product is the product of the square roots of the factors. So you need to know how to find √125 and √(x2). There are various correct forms for √125. A useful one, often expected in assignment problems, is to factor out as big a perfect square ("take as much outside") as you can; thus √12 would be 2√3. For √(x2) the problem is different; you might think it would just be x, but not necessarily. Hint: let x be -2, what do you get? Good Hunting!
