OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

\[r^2=\frac{ 9 }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

\[r=\frac{ 3\sqrt2 }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

How did 9 become,

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

\[3\sqrt2\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

got it okay so you have to take square root both sides to cancel out the square

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{\frac{ 9 }{ 2 }}\] square root both sides

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\sqrt{r^2} = r \] square root cancels with the square because when you convert square root to exponent you will get \[\huge\rm \sqrt{r^2} = r^\frac{ \cancel{2} }{\cancel{ 2} }\] according to this exponent rule \[\large\rm \sqrt[n]{x^m} = x^\frac{ m }{ n }\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

now solve right side \[\sqrt{\frac{ 9 }{ 2 }}\] is same as square root of 9 and 2 \[\sqrt{\frac{ 9 }{ 2 }}=\frac{ \sqrt{9} }{ \sqrt{2} }\] you can't have the radical sign at the denominator of the fraction so that's why multiply both the denominator and numerator of the fraction by sqrt{2}(denominator)

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

ohh right i get it now!

Nnesha (nnesha):

(multiply top and bottom of the fraction by the denominator which is sqrt{2}_

Nnesha (nnesha):

u sure ? :)

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

yes let me show you.

Nnesha (nnesha):

okay :)

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

\[\sqrt{r^2} =\frac{ \sqrt9 }{ \sqrt2 }\]

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

sec

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

\[r=\frac{ 3 }{ \sqrt2^\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } }\times \frac{ \sqrt2 }{ \sqrt2\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } }\]

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

\[r=\frac{ 3\sqrt2 }{ 2 }\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

so why did you write sqr{2} to the 1/2 power ?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

are you testing me, or you don't know why?

Nnesha (nnesha):

hahah i'm asking a question :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

actually i don't know why did you write square root AND 1/2 power

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

i actually don't know how it works..

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

but i know it's correct.

Nnesha (nnesha):

no \[\huge\rm \sqrt{x} = x^\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\] 1/2 is same as square root of something

Nnesha (nnesha):

you can write \[\frac{ }{ 2^\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \times 2^\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }}\] then you don't need to write square root

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

hmm

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

w8 w8 w8

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

i remember who told me this i will link you to the question.

Nnesha (nnesha):

don't get it ? it's okay so this is the exponent rule \[\sqrt[n]{x^m}=x^\frac{m }{ n}\]

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

oh wait i think i get it

Nnesha (nnesha):

so square root of sqrt{2} is 2^1/2 power \[\huge\rm \sqrt{2} = 2^\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\] when you changed to exponent form then you don't need square root

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

oh right!! you are right lol.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

the guy told me the same thing you're telling me now! sorry!!!!

Nnesha (nnesha):

ye same thing \[\sqrt{3}=3^\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

it's okay :)

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

1/3? you mean 1/2?

Nnesha (nnesha):

2 i did type 2 or is it 3 o.O

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

its 3 lol.

Nnesha (nnesha):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Nnesha ye same thing \[\sqrt{3}=3^\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\] \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) \[\huge\rm \sqrt{3}=3^\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\] ohh i see now yea i meant 2 :)

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

lol ok thanks!
