This is our problem? :)
\[\Large \frac{2\sqrt{126}}{\sqrt{14}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes. Sorry I don't know how to type that into this on my iPod. But yes that is my problem.
zepdrix (zepdrix):
I guess this is one way we can rewrite our expression:\[\Large 2\sqrt{\frac{126}{14}}\]
zepdrix (zepdrix):
Any confusion on that step? :O
It should be a piece of cake from there :) hehe
First try it on your calculator is see if 14 divides evenly into 126.

Yeah. It would equal 9. So I would end up with 2√9 ?

Hmm good good.
Looks like we can simplify a bit further though!! sqrt{9}=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 of course :p so the whole thing simplified is 2√3, right.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Or just 2 *3?
zepdrix (zepdrix):
2*3, yes :)
zepdrix (zepdrix):
which simplifies a bit further!!! lol

Are you serious? (.0.)
I thought I'd be done after that.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh. I gotta multiply it right? x3
zepdrix (zepdrix):
That last step is a doozy, careful!
2*3=?
