How do I \"simplify\" The square root of 1/32? (that is 1/32 inside the radical.)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "sqrt(1/32)= [sqrt1] /[ sqrt32]= [sqrt2]/[sqrt64]=[sqrt2]/8
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "I have a complicated question and can get so far but I forget how to do this step. The problem starts as 4x^2+x-1/16=0
\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite as:
\n" ); document.write( "4(x^2+(1/4)x+?=(1/16+?
\n" ); document.write( "Complete the square, as follows:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4(x^2+(1/4)x+(1/8)^2)=(1/16)+4(1/8)^2
\n" ); document.write( "4(x+(1/8))^2= 17/16
\n" ); document.write( "(x+(1/8))^2=17/64
\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root of both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x+1/8 = [sqrt17]/8 or x+1/8 = sqrt 17]/8-
\n" ); document.write( "x=[-1+sqrt 17]/8 or x=[-1-sqrt 17]/8\r
