\[\frac{ 60\sqrt{8} }{ \sqrt{2} }\]
Anytime you have a root by itself in the denominator, multiply the fraction by that root over itself.. like \[\frac{ a }{ \sqrt{b} } = \frac{ a \sqrt{b} }{ \sqrt{b}\sqrt{b} } = \frac{ a \sqrt{b} }{ b }\]
\[\frac{ 60\sqrt{8} }{ \sqrt{2} } * \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{2} } = \frac{ 60\sqrt{8}\sqrt{2} }{ 2 }\]
\[\frac{ 60\sqrt{8 * 2} }{ 2 } = \frac{ 60\sqrt{16} }{ 2 } = \frac{ 60 * 4 }{ 2 }\]
Okay! That was easy! I understand everything except for why \[\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}\] equals 2?
so the final answer is 120?
yeah remember this :
\[\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x} = x ^{1/2}*x ^{1/2} = x ^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }+\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }} = x^1 = x\] so \[\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x} = x\]
oh yeah! I forgot!
Can you do one or two more problems on a new thread? Only if it's okay with you.
sure, i think you are getting it
put up the one that looks the hardest
this time I'll walk through it and tell me if a make a mistake.
okay
