HELPPP

OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):

With?(:

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

Divide the following radical and simplify the answer.

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

\[\frac{ 3+2\sqrt{5} }{ 2\sqrt{5-1} }\]

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

@soprano.h.d0816

OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):

So: \[2\sqrt{5-1}\] gets made into: \[2\sqrt{4}\] And the square root of 4 is 2 so, 2*2 =4 on the bottom

OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):

The top is what is tricking me a little

OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):

\[3+2\sqrt{5}\] The square root of 5 is 2.5 So 3+2+2.5= 7.5 on top

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

Do you see the chocies?

OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):

Yes, sorry. I put that up before I saw the choices

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

No its fine, i was jsut wondering if the links worked

OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):

I'm honestly thinking it is either C or D

OpenStudy (cowgirl1):

they work but I doesn't make sense to me

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

Ill just put c or d

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@soprano.h.d0816 the square root of 5 isnt 2.5 \[2.5^2 = 6.25\]

OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):

Oh yeah... I get carried away sometimes. I was thinking adding

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

rishavraj

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

Divide the following radical and simplify the answer. \[\frac{ 2\sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{5+\sqrt{3}} }\]

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

this is my last problem i have 6 minutes

OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):

What are the options?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@imsleeziboii u got options??

rishavraj (rishavraj):

is it\[\frac{ 2\sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} }\] i mean both are separate?? @imsleeziboii

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

yeah thats the problem

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

2 minutes :(

rishavraj (rishavraj):

rationalize it.... the denominator .... \[\frac{ 2\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} } \times \frac{ \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3} }\]
