Help please give medals

geerky42 (geerky42):

ok and what do you need help with?

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

@geerky42 ....lol......they need medals...lol...

geerky42 (geerky42):

ha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You shouldn't ask for medals. Medals are rewards for doing something good, nice, and/or helpful. Try helping some people with their questions, and maybe, just maybe, you'll get some medals. :)

geerky42 (geerky42):

yeah, not good idea to pull user in by using medal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@OrangeMaster Just for your post, you get a medal :)

geerky42 (geerky42):

"my math test" you shouldn't use these words if you really want help... this is against rule lol...

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

and well most people dont pay attention unless i put that. ok its not a real real test really tho

geerky42 (geerky42):

try to turn square roots into exponents.

geerky42 (geerky42):

\(\sqrt{a} = a^{\frac{1}{2}}\)

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

and i didnt know that either.....its math that i dont understand it i contacted my teacher he said that open study and they can help and i have been using the book i need steps not answers now if people can not help me (not being rude being real) please do not wait my time or anyone else

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

waist

geerky42 (geerky42):

you mean waste?

geerky42 (geerky42):

so you don't know exponents yet?

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

yes sorry its late and im just not in the mood to use right grammar... ok i do understand them i just dont understand how to start this out really

geerky42 (geerky42):

do you know exponent properties? for example: \(\sqrt{a^3} = a^\frac{3}{2}\) and \(\dfrac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}\)

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

that looks familiar actually and so all i would have to do is add the questions numbers in were the other things r ?

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

thanks still!

geerky42 (geerky42):

I'm sorry. you still need help? so you just turn square root into exponent. \(\dfrac{\sqrt{k^5}}{5\sqrt{9\cdot2\cdot k}} = \dfrac{k^{\frac{5}{2}}}{5\cdot3(2k)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\)

geerky42 (geerky42):

now you just need to subtract exponents

geerky42 (geerky42):

do you understand what is going on in denominator?

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

oh i see and no but thank you for putting it in i really just needed the rule of it. and kinda when i look at it i see

geerky42 (geerky42):

i can give you explanation for denominator.

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

could you thanks id like to wright that down too

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

could you show me please

geerky42 (geerky42):

ok, so 18 = 9⋅2, right? so \(\sqrt{18} = \sqrt{9\cdot2} = \sqrt{9}\sqrt{2} = 3\sqrt{2}\)

geerky42 (geerky42):

is that clear?

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

ohhh yes thanks sooo much!!

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

makes more since lol thanks! i have to go to bed but thank you so much!

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

@geerky\[5/2 -1/2 = 2\]42 Ok so i got the answer

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

@geerky42

geerky42 (geerky42):

yeah, since exponent is positive, k should be in numerator with an exponent of 2. So your answer should be like this: \(\dfrac{k^2}{15\sqrt{2}}\)

OpenStudy (help_needed_cudi):

yay!! i got it right then thank!
