Simplify the radical expression. (posted below)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can factor out the denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well i put the answer as Squareroot 10/61

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you show me how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt[10/(11)(11)], so you have 11^2 in the denominator. That can come out of the radical sign.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be 10/11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are disregarding the sqrt.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is sqrt 10/11 or 11 sqrt 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. Here's an easy way to think of the problem. sqrt[10/(11)(11)] = sqrt(10)/sqrt[(11)(11)].

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why are you giving 2 answers? Look to where the 121 is in relation to the 10 and that will steer you to the right answer. Don't guess.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was Just saying cause i couldnt understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's ok not to understand as long as you are going forward. You are trying to learn and that is to be admired. So keep up the good work. Now, I'm going to write problem out a little better and you'll get it I'm sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you and ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{10/121} = \sqrt{10/(11)(11)} = \sqrt{10}/\sqrt{(11)(11)} = \sqrt{10}/\sqrt{11^{2}} = \sqrt{10}/11\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the key here is that you can look at the numerator and denominator separately for this specific problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok Thank you so much i see how you got that now and see my computer dont have a sqrt button aand idk how to do it so thats why i psted the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok and it was nice working with you. good luck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank yu
