OpenStudy (shane_b):

That's not right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is too!

OpenStudy (rainbow_dash):

OpenStudy (shane_b):

Rationalizing the denominator essentially means getting rid of the square root in the denominator. You do that by multiplying the entire fraction by the square root that's in the denominator:

OpenStudy (rainbow_dash):

\[8\sqrt{2}\] is an option, so thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typo i didnt mean to put over

OpenStudy (shane_b):

Oops. Anyway, it's \[\frac{\sqrt{64}}{\sqrt{2}}*\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{2}=4\sqrt{2}=\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry teacher sucks. she even says sorry. she just figured it out

OpenStudy (shane_b):

hehe :)

OpenStudy (rainbow_dash):

Oh dang, \[4\sqrt{2}\] is an answer as well thanks everyone :) tell that teacher i said it's okay. E for effort.
