\[\sqrt{4y^3}- \sqrt{y^3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hey,
You will need to CONJUGATE the expression. Do you know how to CONJUGATE or what CONJUGATION is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea this is what i got \[y \sqrt{3y}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2min working it out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how did you get that answer?

i misused it in a calculator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i conjugated but only got until: \[\frac{ 4y^3 - y^6 }{ \sqrt 4y^3 + \sqrt y^3 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{3y^3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
did you get that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea

what did you do after that point?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
take away the 2 sqared
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the u get \[y \sqrt{3y}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn help?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
are you sure?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{4y^3}- \sqrt{y^3}=2\sqrt{y^3}- \sqrt{y^3}=\sqrt{y^3}\] is a start
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then
\[\sqrt{y^3}=\sqrt{y^2}\sqrt{y}=y\sqrt{y}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oooo that makes sence thank you
