By what factor must you multiply a number in order to triple its square root?

To solve the problem shown above you must apply the following proccedure:

1. Let's call:

x: a number.

f: the factor.

2. Then, you have:

√fx=3√x

3. You must clear the factor "f" to calculate its value, as below:

√fx=3√x

(√fx) ² = (3√x) ²

fx=9x

f=9x/x

4. Then, the factor is:

f=9

5. Therefore, b y what factor must you multiply a number in order to triple its square root?

The answer is: 9
