√5(2√45-√5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one is unambiguous = √5(2*3√5 - √5) = 30 - 5 = 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

note √45 = √9 * √5 = 3√5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So which one is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can someone answer that one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 25 in my last post i was explaining how i simplified √45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so I just put 25 for that answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes as you have a radical expression in bottom of fraction (1 - √3) you rationalise it by multiplying top and bottom by 1 + √3 = 7 (1 + √3) 7 (1 + √3) ------------- = ------ (1 + √3)(1 - √3) -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your answer doesn't match any of the choices can I draw them out for you so you can tell me which one is right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
