Solar Wafer Thermal Expansion Calculation
In a solar power systems fabrication plant, an engineering technician is calculating the thermal expansion coefficient of a silicon wafer. The design formula requires the technician to simplify the product of two radical expressions: .
During the calculation, the technician multiplies the coefficients and the radicands, resulting in the intermediate expression . To complete the simplification process, the technician must identify and extract the largest perfect square factor from the radicand.
What is the largest perfect square factor of the radicand that the technician must extract?
