is this the problem: \[\sqrt{4/75}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes but 4 on top of 75 but its the same thing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so, this turns to :\[\sqrt{4}/\sqrt{75}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

which turns into: \[2/\sqrt{75}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now, are u suppose to rationalize the denominator?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay, well, then we must multiply top and bottom by \[\sqrt{75}\], giving us \[2\sqrt{75}/75\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now, can we break up the 75 inside the square root?

no i think
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes we can
OpenStudy (anonymous):
25*3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
o ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the 25 comes out of the square root as 5, ( i trust you understand why), leaving only the 3 inside. like this:
\[2*5\sqrt{3}/75\]
