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

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?

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
\[\large \frac{3\sqrt{7}}{5}\]
