Simplify this? \(\dfrac{\sqrt{x}}{x} \)
Yup
or this? \( \sqrt{ \dfrac{x}{x}} \)
If it's the first one, it's already simplified. You have a fraction with no root in the denominator.
So it wouldn't be √x / x √x / √x√x 1 / √x

You are correct that \( \dfrac{\sqrt{x}}{x}\ = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}} \), but it turns out that what you started with IS the simplified form. When you have a root in the denominator you need to rationalize the denominator to simplify it. What you started with only has a root in the denominator, so it's simplified.
Oh okay! thank you so much!
