Algebra.Com's Answer #21849 by rapaljer(4671)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Congratulations on writing your own equation box!! First off, you can make a single radical out of this\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next, reduce the fraction inside the radical. Notice that 16 goes into 128 about 8 times, and the \"a\" and \"b\" divide out leaving an \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, sort this out and place in TWO separate square roots, where you will put all the PERFECT SQUARE factors in the first radical, and all the left over factors in the second radical. Notice that 8 has a perfect square that divides into it, which would be 4 (and the left over factor is 2), and \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root of the first radical, and leave the second one alone: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "R^2 at SCC \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
