I've been stuck on these two problems for some time now. About an hour and a half. Attachments below
Sorry if those are hard to see
\[4\sqrt{6}\div \sqrt{30}\]
\[\left( 2\sqrt{5} +3\sqrt{7} \right)^2\]
For an expression \(\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{y}}\), you rationalize it by multiplying it with a fraction that its numerator and the denominator is the same as the expression's denominator (i.e \(\frac{\sqrt{y}}{\sqrt{y}}\).
That confuses me. I got this \[\frac{ 4 }{ \sqrt{5} }\] But I don't know if thats right or how i got it
Like i said, I have been stuck for hours
@HatSimulator Is 4/sqrt{5} the answer to the first question, or the second one? Also, remember that Wolfram|Alpha is your friend. If you're unsure whether your answer is correct, simply throw the expression into W|A and let it check for you. (No cheating though!)
Okay. And that was the answer to the first question
I used Wolfram:Alpha to do that problem actually
@HatSimulator You shouldn't rely on W|A for your homework unless you're in college. ;) Yes, your answer is correct for the first question.
But i dont know how i got it.. like via steps. and that was the only time i've ever used it to be honest
@HatSimulator This is where you should start (remember what I mentioned earlier about multiplying with a new fraction) \(\large{\frac{4\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{30}}} \times \frac{\sqrt{30}}{\sqrt{30}}\)
Okay, got that part
