IMHO, E.

1. (82^1/2 +82^1/2)^2 = (82^1/2)^2+2*82^1/2*82^1/2+(82^1/2)^2 =
82+2*82+82.
2. 82*(82^1/2) = 82^1*82^1/2 = 82^(1+1/2)=82^1.5
3. ((82^1/2)*(82^1/2))/82 = 82^(1/2+1/2)/82 = 1

(E) as well :)

1. (82^1/2+82^1/2)^2
= (2 * (82^1/2))^2
= 4 * 82

2. 82*(82^1/2) >>>> Nothing to do here :)

3. ((82^1/2)*(82^1/2))/82
= 82/82
= 1
