Question

√3/2-1/2???

Answer 1

that's (sqrt 3/2) - (1/2) right? notice how you have the same denominators...now..in fractions..what happens when you subtract terms with common denominators?

Answer 2

But its a surd

Answer 3

it makes no difference..it's still a fraction...so do you get it now? it just depends if you have to simplify it further by getting rid of the squareroot and combine it with -1

Answer 4

So the answer is 1??

Answer 5

no no it's ([sqrt 3) - 1]/2

Answer 6

combine the numerators copy the common denominator..remember?

Answer 7

Answer 8
