Hi,
is [tex]\sqrt{a^2-a^2\sin^2{x}} = a\cos{x}?[/tex]
If not, what should it be?
Appreciate the help!

Simple square root factoring is a process of finding the factors of a number that can be written as the product of two identical numbers. In other words, it is finding the square root of a number.
To factor a simple square root, you need to find the square root of the given number. You can do this by taking the square root of both the numbers inside the radical sign and then simplifying the expression.
The steps for factoring a simple square root are:
1. Identify the number inside the radical sign
2. Find the square root of that number
3. Simplify the expression using basic algebraic rules
4. Check your answer by multiplying the factors back together
The main difference between factoring a simple square root and a complex square root is that in a simple square root, the number inside the radical sign is a perfect square, while in a complex square root, the number inside the radical sign is not a perfect square. This means that the square root of a simple square root will be a whole number, while the square root of a complex square root will be a decimal or an irrational number.
No, you cannot factor a negative square root. This is because the square root of a negative number is an imaginary number, which cannot be factored using real numbers.
