Help on simplifying radicals (square roots)
1) 4 / √32
2) 5 / √48
3) 3√5 / √25
4) 3√24 / √2
Please help me, I've ben stuck on these problems for days. Thank you very much in advance!
1) 4 / sqrt(32) =
4 / sqrt(4*8) =
4 / [sqrt(4)*sqrt(8)]=
4 / [2*sqrt(8)] =
2/ sqrt(8) * [sqrt8/sqrt8] =
2sqrt8/8 =
sqrt8/4.
2) 5 / sqrt(48) =
5 / sqrt(16*3) =
5 / [sqrt(16)*sqrt(3)] =
5 / [4*sqrt(3)] =
5 / 4sqrt3 * [sqrt3 / sqrt3] =
5sqrt3 / 12.
3) 3sqrt5 / sqrt(25) =
3sqrt5 / 5.
4) 3sqrt24 / sqrt(2) =
3*sqrt(2)*sqrt(12) / sqrt(2) =
3sqrt(12).
