simplify and reduce to the lowest terms (rationalize whenre quired)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \sqrt{16} }{ \sqrt{32} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it dpesnot come out right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it comes outt o .70174892475686......

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

So when I put \[\sqrt16 / \sqrt32 = 1.68\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm not me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{16} = 4\] \[\sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \sqrt{16} }{ \sqrt{32} } = \frac{ 4 }{ 4\sqrt{2} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify.

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

Welp I'm out of here. Tssh I guess I did it wrong haha. @some_someone can take over :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sndrod09 yes it comes out as \[.7071067812 \] (which is in decimal)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \sqrt{16} }{ \sqrt{32} } = \frac{ 4 }{ 4\sqrt{2} }\] \[ \frac{ 4 }{ 4\sqrt{2} }\left( \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{2} } \right) = \frac{ 4\sqrt{2} }{ 4\times2 }\] \[ \frac{ 4\sqrt{2} }{ 4\times2 } = \frac{ 4\sqrt{2} }{ 8 } = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sndrod09 do you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah isee
