looks like you are trying to subtract. one denominator is
\[\sqrt{x}\] the other is
\[2x^{\frac{3}{2}}=2\sqrt{x^3}\] multiply the first one top and bottom by
\[2x\] so that the denominators will be the same.

you will get
\[\frac{2x(x+4)-(x^2+4x+3)}{2\sqrt{x^3}}\]

last step is to remove parentheses in the numerator and combine like terms

isnt the sqrtof x = x^1/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

\[\sqrt{x} \] = x^1/2

one denominator is
\[\sqrt{x}\] the other is
\[2\sqrt{x^2}\] if you multiply the first one by
\[2x\] you will get
\[2x\times \sqrt{x}=2x^{\frac{3}{2}}=2\sqrt{x^2}\]
