Ok so 0.22 repeating is 2/9 in fraction form.
what are the prime factors of 112? what is the highest perfect square
If it was 0.22 the fraction would be 11/50, but it is 0.22 "repeating" so it is 2/9. The trick is that whenever a number repeats its tenth place it is that digit over 9.
sorry, continue with anthonyym
@anthonyym sorry, please continue
Yes, so to simplify sqrt(112), we can take perfect squares out of the square root. 112 is 2^4 * 7, which is also 4^2 * 7. 4^2 is a perfect square, so we take it out of the radical and it becomes \[4\sqrt{7}\].
We can "take it out" because it's actually \[\sqrt{4^2*7}=\sqrt{4^2}*\sqrt{7}=4\sqrt{7}\]
No, you multiply them because the question says "times"
You can multiply them across like fractions, numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator. \[\frac{ 2 }{ 9 }*\frac{ 4\sqrt{7} }{ 1 }\].
Correct
Yes, because you can write it as a fraction
Oops I may be wrong because sqrt7 is not rational
Yeah, so even if you multiply it by a rational number, the whole thing will still be irrational because there's an irrational number.
It's irrational. Having anything irrational multiplied to it makes the whole answer irrational
No problem!
