Root of a quotient - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

Root of a quotient

When we find a root that is in the complete quotient (in the complete fraction), we can break down the factors of the quotient: the numerator and the denominator and leave the root separated for each of them. We will not forget to leave the division symbol: the dividing line between the factors we separate.

Let's put it this way:

ab=ab\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}}
