OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

park you got some comp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nahhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This would equal to 3

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

haha

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The square roots cancel out, and the Y's cancel out.

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

woah wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

GIMME THAT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nooooo boi u must be high

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am so right.

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

park is asian whats your exuse and proof

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm a freaking precalculus Narb!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me explain.. patience.. i'll explain.

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

holy crap park

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OKAY. this is how it goes, Square root 3y is can also be written was what? 3y^2, and also the denominator can be written was what? 3^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \sqrt{3y} }{ \sqrt{y} } = \frac{ y \sqrt{3} }{ y } = 3\]

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

so he's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get out my house

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Get the F out of my house

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WHAT DID I SAY? WHAT?! GIMME THAAAT SON!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SIT YO BUM DOWN AND CRY!

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

park you got comp now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No offence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait hold the f up its \[\sqrt{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like I said. I am THE precalculusNarb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my bad i had a typo sorry cuz the y's cancel out leaving a 1 on the bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Doe, Park, can you not think straight? You on a joint?

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

pre explain the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pre cal go back to Pre K

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mutha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Park shush up for a second. I'm finna explain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the y's cancel out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aright go aheead

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

he's right???? but but how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SOOOO as you all remember from freaking pre algebra. Square roots are also equal to...? power of 1/2 correct?

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

park?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Harrison I'm explaining hold your horses.

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

help idk what to do

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I could just tell you basically... treat the square roots as an X. As long as the fraction does not have addition or subtraction in it, you can cancel out similar stuff, correct?

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

idkkkk im scared to answer and say ok

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

dude im stupid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh dear. Okay okay I'll start from zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you said 2^1/2, it's equal to square root of 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you with me?

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. So rewrite your equation make it 3y^1/2 all divided by y^1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright?

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

k p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yo Narb u wrong ... \[\frac{ \sqrt{3y} }{ \sqrt{y} } = \frac{ y \sqrt{3} }{ y } = \sqrt{3}\] if you know pellet about math you would know that i'm right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please park don't confuse the kid.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Think of my explanation and you'll know that i'm right.

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

yo dude he showed pictures thats how i role

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first multiply by \[\frac{ \sqrt{y} }{ \sqrt{y} }\] then the Y's cancel out

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

lol im just kidding lol park was right from the start dude

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey narb whats ur grade in precal D? E? F???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No park, you can cancel out the square roots from the beginning, then you're left with 3y/y which equals to what?

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

k here ill post another q

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

or you can stay here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know what. I can't convince you if he's your freaking friend. When you get that question wrong don't start crying.

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

but parks my asain i gotta trust him

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whatever man.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can't cancel out square roots like that try easy numbers my method works

OpenStudy (harrisonshark):

true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u stupid as pellet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL. I never knew how hard it would be to try and explain to 2 stupid people until today. Thank you guys for allowing me to get the experience.
