Question 480669: i am so confused i havent had a math class in about a year and a half n this is one of the problems we have to do for review. 8/(√10) Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8/sqrt(10) would be normalized by multiplying numerator and denominator by sqrt(10) / sqrt(10) to get:
8*sqrt(10)/(sqrt(10))^2
since sqrt(10)^2 = 10, then this expression can be simplified to:
8*sqrt(10)/10
this can be simplified further to:
4*sqrt(10)/5
i don't believe it can be simplified any further.
the simplification of a rational expression with a square root in the denominator is to manipulate the expression so that there is no square root in the denominator.
