how do I simplify this
$$\sqrt(x-2) \sqrt(1+\frac{9}{4(x-2)})$$

Question

anonymous · Answer

the second part is all under the radical sign

anonymous · Answer

Is it?

$$\sqrt{(x-2)} \sqrt{(1+\frac{9}{4(x-2)})}$$

anonymous · Answer

yes, how do you get your radical signs to extend that far?

anonymous · Answer

after sqrt use the curli brackets: {}

anonymous · Answer

thanks

anonymous · Answer

Firstly solve the expression in second radical..

anonymous · Answer

can't you multiply inside the radical?

anonymous · Answer

$$\sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \times b}$$

anonymous · Answer

$$= \sqrt{(x-2)(1 + \frac{9}{4(x-2)}})$$

anonymous · Answer

$$= \sqrt{(x-2)+ \frac{9}{4}}$$

hey @satellite73 i have a question for you regarding simpson's rule a little later

anonymous · Answer

or now if i may ask

anonymous · Answer

a little later will have to be tomorrow, because i have got to go
but post, there are lots here who can answer

anonymous · Answer

I posted it earlier and got some responses but it kinda went over my head

anonymous · Answer

how large should n be to guarantee that the Simpson's Rule approximation to
∫10ex2dx
is accurate to within 0.00001?
