Solve the following exercise:
To solve the expression , we will break it down and simplify step by step.
Step 1: Simplify the square root of the fraction.
can be rewritten using the square root of a quotient property:
.
Step 2: Simplify .
Since , the expression becomes:
.
Step 3: Multiply by .
Now multiply by :
.
Step 4: Simplify the square root.
The multiplication inside the square root becomes , so:
.
Step 5: Simplify .
Since ,
this results in .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
Solve the following exercise:
\( \sqrt{\frac{2}{4}}= \)
Yes, you can! Use the property . So .
Simplifying first makes the calculation much easier! It helps you spot perfect squares and reduces the chance of arithmetic mistakes in larger numbers.
Use when you have a fraction under the radical. This lets you simplify the denominator separately, which is often easier!
For exact answers, leave results in radical form like . Only convert to decimals when specifically asked, since radicals show the precise mathematical relationship.
Square your final answer! Since we got , check: . Also verify by working backwards through your steps.
