I Am Supposed to be simplifying this\(\frac{\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}}{y}\)
Ive gotten as far as bringing the Y up to make it \(\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}y}\)
What is the next step?
THanks in advance
Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by \(y \over \sqrt3\), the reciprocal of \(\sqrt3 \over y\).
This gives: \(xy\over \sqrt3\), which can be written as \(xy \sqrt3 \over 3\)
x / (y sqrt3) multiply by sqrt3/sqrt3
x sqrt 3 / 3y or x y-1 sqrt 3 / 3
Thanks Bilderboi and EP
You did make a mistake builder boi which EP picked up on.
Here is my answer just to stop any confusion.
\(\frac{\frac{x}{\sqrt3}}{y}\\ =\frac{x}{\sqrt3}\div y\\ =\frac{x}{\sqrt3}\times \frac{1}{y} \\ =\frac{x}{y\sqrt3}\qquad \text{I know that you already got this far} \\ \text{now you just need to reationalize the denominator}\\ =\frac{x}{y\sqrt3} \times \frac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt3}\\ =\frac{\sqrt3\; x}{3y} \)
