Question 146548: Divide.
Sqrt (50) / Sqrt (-5)
sqrt of 50 divided by sqrt of -5.
I did the sqrt of 50 = 5 sqrt(2)
Sqrt (-5) = -5
Multiplied 5 and 2 to get 10. I came up with the solution of -Sqrt (10). Not sure if it is sqrt (10) or - Sqrt (10).
Hope I did not confuse you with my jibberish. Thanks!
