I need help!!!
Go on. :3
√20x^13y^5/5xy^7 a. √4x^12/y^2 b. 2x^6/y c. 2√x^12/y^2 d. 2x^6y
is the whole equation under the square root?
\[√20x^13y^5/5xy^7 \] is this how it looks????
Yes.
If you want me to explain I will :)
yes please!
alright, let's do the top first
√20x13y5 the square root of 20 is \[2\sqrt{5}\]
so we have \[2\sqrt{5}\] and then the square root of x^13 is \[x^{6}\sqrt{x}\] the square root of y^5 is equal to\[y ^{2}\sqrt{y}\] Does this all make sense so far?
yes
so the top looks like\[2x ^{6}y ^{2}\sqrt{5xy}\]
the bottom is 5xy^7 the 5x cannot be simplified but the y^7 becomes \[y ^{3}\sqrt{y}\]
so then the bottom is \[y ^{3}\sqrt{5xy}\]
combine the top and bottom and you can factor out the \[\sqrt{5xy}\] and a \[y ^{2}\]
this leaves you with 2x^6/y which is your answer :)
let me know if you have questions
