The combined radical is: [tex]- 26\sqrt{3}[/tex]
The radical is given as:
[tex]- 12\sqrt{12} - 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]
We start by expressing 12 as 4 * 3
[tex]- 12\sqrt{12} - 2\sqrt{3} = - 12\sqrt{4* 3} - 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Split the radical
[tex]- 12\sqrt{12} - 2\sqrt{3} = - 12\sqrt{4}* \sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Take square root of 4
[tex]- 12\sqrt{12} - 2\sqrt{3} = - 12*2* \sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]
[tex]- 12\sqrt{12} - 2\sqrt{3} = - 24* \sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]
[tex]- 12\sqrt{12} - 2\sqrt{3} = - 24\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Combine like terms
[tex]- 12\sqrt{12} - 2\sqrt{3} = - 26\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Hence, the combined radical is: [tex]- 26\sqrt{3}[/tex]
