Question 96402: Hi,
I am having problems trying to figure out what I would do to use a radical expression in my daily life. I know that roofers, builders, engineers, ect. use radical expressions, but I am brain dead to this question. How would I show this equation?
How you might apply radical expressions to your daily life? Explain this application, and discuss what the equation might be.
Thank you very much for your help,
