Let's start with the left side and see if we can get it in the form of the right side:Let's rationalize the denominator. We can't take the square root of an odd power of x without leaving a square root, as we could if it were an even power of x. So let's get an even power of x under the square root by multiplying by . Then we will have an even power of x under the square root and we'll be able to take the square root just by dividing the exponent by 2: Edwin
