OpenStudy (3mar):

can I help?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

please

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

@3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thank you.

OpenStudy (3mar):

What do you think about the denominator?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

it's under a radical sign

OpenStudy (3mar):

Ok

OpenStudy (3mar):

can we reform it like that? \[\sqrt{2x^4y^3}=\sqrt{x^4}\sqrt{2y^3}=x^2\sqrt{2y^2y}=x^2y \sqrt{2y}\] Can we?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

yes

OpenStudy (3mar):

and the numerator doesn't change

OpenStudy (3mar):

Just divide this over what we have reformed, what would you get?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

\[\frac{ 3x^2 }{ x^2y \sqrt{2y} }\]

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

@3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

What can you cancel from each of numerator and denominator?

OpenStudy (3mar):

ha?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

x2

OpenStudy (3mar):

Great! Can you retype in the expression after that?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

\[\frac{ 3 }{ y \sqrt{2y} }\]

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

@3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

Congratulations!

OpenStudy (3mar):

It'd better like that \[\frac{ 3 }{ y \sqrt{2y} }\]
