Question

what is the square root of 1/2 as a fraction??

Answer 1

\[\sqrt{1/2} = \frac{ \sqrt{1} }{ \sqrt{2} } = \frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{2}}\] Rationalize this.

Answer 2

@Lord_Box would you leave the denominator as a decimal?

Answer 3

No, we typically don't leave roots on the bottom. This is an example of rationalization:\[\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt(5)} \times \frac{ \sqrt(5)}{ \sqrt(5) } = \frac{\sqrt(5)}{5}\]

Answer 4

@Lord_Box oh, so it would be square root of 2 over 2?

Answer 5

That's right

Answer 6

oh, ok!! thank you so much!!

Answer 7

You're welcome
