OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Have you considered multiplying by \(\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}\)

OpenStudy (arbyj):

yes but what would happen to the numerator @tkhunny

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

You tell me. What happened to the denominator?

OpenStudy (arbyj):

@tkhunny i would became 2

OpenStudy (arbyj):

*become

OpenStudy (arbyj):

wait would i have to cancel out the 2's?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

How did that happen? \(\sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2\cdot 2} = \sqrt{4} = 2\) Do EXACTLY that with the numerator.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Don't even think of "cancelling" anything. We jus created this structure. Why would you subsequently destroy it?

OpenStudy (arbyj):

my teacher didnt show it to us like that

OpenStudy (arbyj):

he gave us this example and did this:|dw:1412828103645:dw|
