Question

You are dividing two square roots, and the radicand in the denominator does not divide into the radicand in the numerator. Explain what you need to do.

Answer 1

something like sqrt 2 / sqrt 5 ?

Answer 2

ya

Answer 3

Use a calculator ;-)

Answer 4

well all you can do is rationalise the denominator - in this case in order to keep the same value you multiply top and bottom by sqrt5:

so sqrt2 * sqrt5 / sqrt5 * sqrt 5
= sqrt10 / 5
i guess it looks 'tidier' with a rational denominator

Answer 5

lol - yes - if you want to find its value use a calculator!!!
