@AZ more math
hmm \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{18}} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{18}}{\sqrt{18}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{18}}{18}\) So this is the question \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2} + \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{8} + \sqrt{200} +\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{18}}}}\) so we have to solve the innermost fractions and work our way out
ok so how do u simplfy 1/(sqrt(8)+sqrt(200)+sqrt(18)/18)
\(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2} + \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{8} + \sqrt{200} +\dfrac{\sqrt{18}}{18}}}\) Now, \(\sqrt{8}\) and \(\sqrt{200}\) can you write it down in the most simplest form? hint: 8 = 2^2 * 2 200 = 10^2 * 2
the current goal is to write that entire line as a fraction
ok so 2sqrt(2)+10sqrt(2) so 1/(12sqrt(2)+sqrt(18)/18)
\(\sqrt{8} + \sqrt{200} +\dfrac{\sqrt{18}}{18} = ??\)
\( 2\sqrt{2} + 10\sqrt{2} + \dfrac{\sqrt{18}}{18} \) \( = 12\sqrt{2} + \dfrac{\sqrt{18}}{18} \) and can you simplify sqrt(18) first?
18 = 9 * 2 = 3^2 * 2
sqrt(18)=3sqrt(2)
\( = 12\sqrt{2} + \dfrac{\sqrt{18}}{18} \) \(= 12\sqrt{2} + \dfrac{3\sqrt{2}}{18}\) \( =12\sqrt{2} + \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{6}\) now can you make it have the same denominator?
um (72sqrt(2)+sqrt(2))/6
then (73sqrt(6)/6)
Yes and 72sqrt(2) + sqrt(2) is 73sqrt(2) So now we started with \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2} + \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{8} + \sqrt{200} +\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{18}}}}\) And now we have \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2} + \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{73\sqrt{2}}{6}}}\)
so you would have to find sqrt(2)+6/73sqrt(2)
Now let's just flip the fraction we have \(\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{73\sqrt{2}}{6}}=\) and yup yup yup!
\(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2} + \dfrac{6}{73\sqrt{2}}}\) So just focus on simplifying the denominator right now
If you multiply the first fraction by sqrt(2) / sqrt(2) then you'll get the same denominator and then can add the fractions
wait oops I mean, we'd have to multiply by 73sqrt(2)
We need to multiply it by that so that way we'd have the same denominator to add the fractions
ok then is it 3sqrt(2)/73?
Hmm no \(\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{73\sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{2}}{73\sqrt{2}} + \dfrac{6}{73\sqrt{2}}}\) \( 73\sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{2} = 73 \times 2 = ??\)
oh wait i thought you ment the other fraction ok so its 146
152/73sqrt(2) then its 73sqrt(2)/152
There you go! and I think that's all you can simplify it to
ok thank you
