Solve the following exercise:
To solve the expression , let's simplify each term step-by-step:
First, consider the term :
Next, consider the term :
Finally, add the simplified terms together:
.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
Choose the largest value
Yes! You can simplify the numerator and denominator separately, or multiply first then take the square root. Both methods give the same answer as long as you follow the product property correctly.
Try factoring! For example, . Practice recognizing perfect squares: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64...
This happens because both expressions simplify to ! The first term: . The second term: in the numerator.
Be careful! You can only cancel identical factors. Here, works, but becomes after simplifying.
Work step-by-step and write down every step. First multiply under the radical, then simplify perfect squares, finally do the division. Double-check by substituting back into the original expression.
