quare root of 63/25

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

Square*

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

\[\large \sqrt{\frac{63}{25}}\] So we can rewrite this as \[\large \frac{\sqrt{63}}{\sqrt{25}}\] right? now, what is the square root of 25?

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

5

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Right...so lets write this as \[\large \frac{\sqrt{63}}{5}\] good so far?

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

yes

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

whats next?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Now...we know that we cant simply say 63 is the square of some number...so we need to think of something else we can do Hint* what are the factors of 63?

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

1,3,7,9,21,63

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

And now which of those numbers is a perfect square?

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

1and 9 is that it?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Not quite...now that we know 9 is a perfect square...what times 9 = 63...well 7 right? So we can write 63 as 9 times 7 right? \[\large \frac{\sqrt{63}}{5} = \frac{\sqrt{9\times 7}}{5}\] And since we know the square root of 9 = 3...we have \[\large \frac{3\sqrt{7}}{5}\]
